[What is Yoom]

The creation process is broadly divided into the following steps:
Connecting your app first will make the subsequent settings proceed smoothly.
First, let's connect your Google Calendar with Yoom.
Select My App → "+ Add" from the left side of the Yoom page.
When the app menu list is displayed, search for Google Calendar.
Then, if there are no issues, click Continue on this screen.
※For reference, see What you can do by connecting with Google Calendar
Next, search for Slack.
Please sign in on the screen below.
Once the connection with Google Calendar and Slack is complete and displayed in My App, you're all set.
From here, we will create the flow. Open the template page and click 'Try it'.
As you proceed, the template will be automatically copied to your workspace, and the following screen will be displayed.
Select OK and proceed to the next step.
The template will be saved in My Projects.
You can change the template name if necessary.
Click on My Projects on the left to display the template you just copied.
Click on the ellipsis (...) on the right and select Edit.
Now, let's set up the app trigger.
Select "When an event is deleted".
You can change the title as you like.
Check the account information you just linked and proceed without changing the trigger action.
Enter the required fields.
This setting determines how many minutes after a Google Calendar event is deleted the trigger will activate.
Set the search keyword as desired.
It will work even if not set.
Let's register a test event in Google Calendar and then delete it.
Return to Flowbot and test.
If linked correctly, the event information will be displayed in the output at the bottom of the screen.
By referencing this output during the subsequent action settings, you can achieve data integration between Google Calendar and Slack!
