gcalsync

Google Script to synchronize from one calendar to another.

purpose

A lot of us have calendars for different contexts, e.g., work and home, their agency and a client, and so on. This makes it easier to expose blocked time to others who you are coordinating schedules with.

configuration & installation

  • Calendar A is the calendar you are importing TO
  • Calendar B is the calendar you are importing FROM

modify the script

  • look up calendar id for B (look in 'Calendar Details' ; it is likely your gsuite email address)
  • insert this id into the script as the pCalId variable
  • if you do not want event details to show for imported events, change PUBLIC to PRIVATE in this line: newEvent.setVisibility(CalendarApp.Visibility.PUBLIC)

install the script

  • go to My Drive on Google Drive for A
  • New -> More -> Connect More Apps
  • search for "script", select Google Apps Script, and press + connect
  • My Drive -> More -> Google Apps Script -> "Untitled Project"
  • Copy and paste the modified script into this window, name it whatever you want

automate the script

  • Click clock icon to left of play icon
  • Click to add a new trigger, set it up to run however often you want

thanks

this is largely based on:

todo

Google will occasionally complain about this script when there are a lot of events to migrate. It will generally sort itself out, but this can lead to some spam in your inbox.
