# Google Calendar - Update event action

The Update event action updates an existing Google Calendar event you specify. The action appends new attendees to the existing participants list. If a duplicate email address is included in the list, it overwrites the existing attendee's response and comments. To add attendees without affecting the existing list, use the Add attendees to an event action. Updated events are assigned to the connected account's time zone.

ENSURE CALENDAR ACCESS

Ensure the calendar you plan to modify is accessible from your connected account and that you have the necessary permissions to edit events.
