I'm trying to delete an event in Google Calendar with the n8n “delete event” node, but I keep receiving a 404 error.

n8n Version: 1.75.2 (Cloud)
Time: 1/21/2025, 11:20:27 AM

The error message is as follows:

I have also attached a screenshot of my workflow:

To share my workflow, I used the following instructions:

(Select the nodes on your canvas and use the keyboard shortcuts CMD+C/CTRL+C and CMD+V/CTRL+V to copy and paste the workflow.)

Additional information about my n8n setup:

n8n version:
Database (default: SQLite):
n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
Operating system:

Any help to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Based on the error message and the 404 status code, it appears that the Google Calendar API isn’t finding the event you’re trying to delete. Here are some troubleshooting steps to help resolve the issue:

1. Verify the Event ID

Ensure that the Event ID provided to the node is correct and that the event actually exists in the specified calendar. You can do this by using a Get operation to retrieve the event details.

Tip: If the event was already deleted or the ID is outdated/incorrect, the API will return a “Not Found” error.

2. Check Calendar ID & Permissions

Make sure that:

You are using the correct Calendar ID where the event exists.
The credentials used for your Google Calendar node have permission to access and modify (delete) the event in that calendar.

3. Validate Your n8n Node Setup

Double-check your node configuration:

Confirm that the Delete Event operation is selected.
Reconfirm any parameter or expression used to pass the Event ID.

4. Consider API Behavior

Sometimes, the API might return a 404 error if:

The event was created using a different API or method (resulting in a mismatched ID).
There is a propagation delay and the event isn’t immediately available or fully deleted in the background before you try to remove it again.

Review these areas, adjust accordingly, and try re-running your workflow. If the problem persists after checking these aspects, you might want to verify your workflow setup further or contact support with more details.

Let me know if you need further clarification on any of these steps!
