Creating and Activating the Capture Action Workflow

Using the Schedule Trigger

The Schedule Trigger enables you to record based on events a Google CalDAV calendar.
Only Google calendars are supported at this time. Lightspeed Live Capture software
checks the calendar every ten seconds for changes in existing events, and for new
events, then loads them and queues them up for capture using a one-hour look-ahead
window of time.
When using Schedule Trigger:
- Each event must be at least 15 minutes in duration, or greater.
- Event durations are restricted to a maximum of 9 hours. Events that are longer will
stop recording automatically at 9 hours duration.
- Event names cannot contain an accent grave character or any of the following
characters: * | \ : ; " ' < > ? /
Note: You must use a calendar that is dedicated to only contain events that are used
for Lightspeed Live Capture. All events in the calendar are used for Live Capture, no
matter what name they are given or other purpose they are intended for.

What Happens When a Queued Event is Deleted

If an event on the calendar has been added to the Capture queue (events are queued
up when they are within 1 hour of their start time) and is subsequently deleted from
the CalDAV calendar, its job status is reported as Complete in the Workflow Designer
and the Job Status Views application.
- In the case where the deleted event had not yet started capturing, a 0K (zero K) sized
file associated with the job will remain in the workflow's output folder location.
- In the case where the deleted event was in a capturing state when it was deleted, a
playable file associated with the job will remain in the file's output folder location.
See Using the Job Status Views in the Lightspeed Live User Guide for more information on
using this application.

Creating Repeating Events in Google Calendar

Repeating Events can be created in a Google calendar, but certain restrictions apply in
order to operate properly with Live Capture. When you create a new event in Google
calendar and enable the Repeat option, the following restrictions apply.
For Weekly Events only these settings are supported:
- Repeats must be set to Weekly (no other options, besides Daily, are supported).
- Repeat Every must be set to 1 to repeat every week.
