- See the calendars available to the connected account in one report.
- Use supplied client context to make the inventory more actionable.

- 3Describe the outcome: list available Google Calendars and summarize those relevant to the Bonsai client context you provide.
- 4Pick the notis_cron trigger and choose a recurring schedule and report channel.
- 5Test once and confirm the calendar list is useful for the work you described.
Questions about this workflow
Does this show every calendar in the organization?
It retrieves calendars from the connected user's Google Calendar list, subject to that account's access.
Can it determine which client owns a calendar?
Only if the calendar details or the context you provide make that relationship clear. Do not assume client ownership is included in the calendar data.
