Google Calendar trigger - Event start

The Event start trigger activates at the start time of an event or at a specified time before the event begins in Google Calendar. When you first run the recipe, it fetches events that started in the past hour and events scheduled to start after the specified time. It continues to retrieve new events as they meet the start time criteria.

To use this trigger, ensure you have the necessary permissions to monitor your Google Calendar for event start times.
