Use this operation to check availability in a calendar in Google Calendar. Refer to [Google Calendar](/08-0-0-Workflow/integrations/builtin/app-nodes/n8n-nodes-base.googlecalendar/index.md) for more information on the Google Calendar node itself.

## Availability

Use this operation to check if a time-slot is available in a calendar.

Enter these parameters:

- **Credential to connect with**: Create or select an existing [Google Calendar credentials](/08-0-0-Workflow/integrations/builtin/credentials/google/index.md).

- **Calendar**: Choose a calendar you want to check against. Select **From list** to choose the title from the dropdown list or **By ID** to enter a calendar ID.
- **Start Time**: The start time for the time-slot you want to check. By default, uses an expression evaluating to the current time (`{{ $now }}`).
- **End Time**: The end time for the time-slot you want to check. By default, uses an expression evaluating to an hour from now (`{{ $now.plus(1, 'hour') }}`).

### Options

	- **Availability**: Returns if there are already events overlapping with the given time slot or not.
