What Haruno can do

  • List upcoming events, for a period you name, or search them by words.
  • Create an event, with a place, a description and guests. Guests get an invitation from Google.
  • Change an event.
  • Delete an event. Google may tell the guests.

How to connect

  1. Turn it on
    Open the card and turn on Enable.
  2. Sign in
    Choose Connect. Your browser opens Google's sign-in. Keep calendar access ticked, or Haruno refuses to connect.

The card may say "Google account" instead of your address. It also has Enable background event checks and Upcoming-event lead time (minutes), 15 by default. They let a rule react to a new or coming event (advanced view).

What needs your approval

Creating, changing and deleting an event each show an approval card. Choose Allow once. When guests are named, the card names them and also offers Allow for this session, which covers only the same guests. Listing events asks nothing.

A scheduled task or a hook has nobody to ask, so these steps are refused and the run says the step needed approval. In the advanced view you can set each action to On, Off or Confirm.
