Add event to user’s Google Calendar (not app owner’s) — best Glide approach?

Ask for Help

Hi everyone,

I’m building an events app in Glide where users can RSVP to events and add them to their own calendar (Google / Apple / Outlook).

I initially tried using Glide’s Google Calendar integration, but I’ve realised that this always saves events to the app owner’s Google account, not the logged-in user’s calendar — which isn’t the behaviour I want.

What I’m trying to achieve is a standard “Add to Calendar” experience where:

each user adds the event to their personal calendar

no per-user Google OAuth is required

works across Google, Apple, and Outlook if possible.

For those who’ve implemented this in production:
What’s the cleanest and most reliable approach in Glide today?

Cleanest solution is having a link where users can click and add it to their GCal/Apple/Outlook. Google OAuth is too complex in my opinion.
