Google Calendar

Tuan,
I am looking to automatically add events entered on an events booking calendar onto an organization's Google calendar. I was hoping that I could use the RSS feed to trigger an IFTTT script to move the data, but it is not fielded in RSS in a way that allows me to grab the info.

Do you have any suggestions on how I can accomplish this?

Hi Scott

At the moment, to be honest, I have no idea. I guess Google will provide an API allows us to call to add event to their calendar, so if you know programming, I guess the solution would be developing a plugin for Events Booking so that when an event is created in Events Booking, it will also be created in Google Calendar, too

But as I said, it will require programming for this task

Regards,

Tuan

API to google calendar would be great

To be honest, I don't have plan for this feature at the moment. While it's nice to have feature, I don't see many customers need it, so I will focus working on other improvements instead

I would echo the request. My organization maintains a Google Calendar for use by our volunteers that all the events go on.

I have worked around this today by publishing an RSS feed of the events page on the site, then setting up an ITTT (If This Then That) script to drive new events into Google Calendar.

It generally works, but there are often flaws in the events in Google calendar resulting from the many hops and imperfect nature of the integration. An API would be preferable in the future.

Yes. Maybe this is something for the future (next year). As mentioned, right now, I want to focus working on other improvements first (which can be used by more customers than this one)
