Group by day · Code node

// Groups this week's calendar events by day into a short email.
const events = $input.all().map((item) => item.json).filter((e) => e.start);
const byDay = {};

for (const e of events) {
  const start = new Date(e.start.dateTime || e.start.date);
  const day = start.toLocaleDateString("en-GB", { weekday: "long", day: "numeric", month: "short" });
  const time = e.start.dateTime ? start.toTimeString().slice(0, 5) : "All day";
  (byDay[day] ||= []).push(`  ${time}  ${e.summary || "(no title)"}`);
}

const body = Object.keys(byDay).length
  ? Object.entries(byDay).map(([day, items]) => `${day}\n${items.join("\n")}`).join("\n\n")
  : "Nothing on your calendar this week.";

return [{ json: { count: events.length, body } }];
