Users of my app have the possibility to register for events. Once they do, I want the information added to their google calendar.
I looked at Zapier and it asks me to log into my gmail account to setup a zap. If my understanding is correct this is not what I want as all my app’s user would have to be integrated individually.
So the question is how do I get these events in my app users google calendars?
Maybe it is just a matter of sending them a calendar invite? If so, how would I do this?
I think the agical link still works. It just doesn’t have a front page. I just tried and if you feed it the right parameters it still gives you an ics file to download.
We’ve piloted integration with Google Calendar in our moskvarenta.glideapp.io (mobile app for housing rent for Russian market). An owner can schedule a time slot, and a possible renter can book a visit. I create the task in a calendar and after renter chooses a time slot he is added as a guest. I’m going to share new version with this function next week. Developed in G-Suite with Google Script.
@Robert_Petitto I just tried your app + Zap and I haven’t received an invite. Is that active or just there for demo purposes? I’m going to add something similar to my booking app, but I’m going to add the ability to add participants now that the Zapier action can support so many fields.
That being said, do you know if I can send an array to Zapier as a single field? I’m thinking of getting people to enter individual emails into an array and then use that column as a Zapier field for the “To” addresses in the invite.
Their website does have an example string which I did try and it worked so I based my string from this example: http://ics.agical.io/?subject=Meet%20{{company.Account Owner First Name}}&organizer=Sandy&reminder=45&location=Sandy%27s%20Desk&dtstart=2016-10-26T15:00:00-04:00&dtend=2016-10-26T16:00:00-04:00&attach=http://www.example.com/
I know there’s many ways to achieve syncing but this option seems simple if I can get it to work!
Thanks
I honestly haven’t used agical myself, so I don’t know the ins and outs of it. It’s just something I found while helping someone look for a solution. And with that it looks like it was some side project for whoever created it.
These are the only other agical related posts in the forum. Maybe there will be more information there.
