The Cal.com Trigger node acts as a listener for events from your Cal.com scheduling system, initiating n8n workflows when specified events occur:

1. Webhook Integration: Cal.com sends event data to a secure n8n endpoint
2. Event Processing: The trigger parses meeting details, including attendees, time, duration, and custom fields
3. Workflow Activation: Based on the event type (booking, cancellation, rescheduling), appropriate workflows are initiated
4. Data Routing: Meeting information is formatted and routed to relevant systems and processes

This event-driven approach means your automation responds instantly to calendar changes, maintaining perfect synchronization between your schedule and your operational processes.
