Introduction

This plugin lets authorized users access the details of their Calendar events, create new events, or delete events.

Prerequisites

For using the plugin you'll need to get the API credentials as API Key and API Secret. Create your development account at https://console.developers.google.com and enable the Google Calendar API. Also working with Access Token requires the use of Google's Playground - https://developers.google.com/oauthplayground/

Setting up

I. Setup Google Developers Console

Access “API & Services”

Go to the “Credentials” tab and create an OAuth Client ID.

In the “OAuth 2.0 Client IDs” list click on your created OAuth ID’s name. Add your redirect URls in the same fields.

5. Copy Client ID and Client Secret, and past it in plugins settings fields, API Key and API Secret.

💡

Hint: Remember to save your changes to the console.

II. Setting up the Google Playground for Access token action

For this action, you'll need to get a refresh token from google playground:

https://developers.google.com/oauthplayground/

Select the configuration tab, check the "Use your own OAuth credentials" checkbox and enter the "client ID" and "secret" assigned to a web application on your project

2. Select the scope Google Calendar API v3 as shown in the image below:

3. And Google OAuth2 API v2 as shown in the image below:

After that don't forget to click the "AuthorizeAPIs" button to authorize the settings.

III. Select the account that you will use to log in to google calendar.

4. After that, you'll get the authorization code. Exchange it to 'refresh' and 'access' tokens using the button action below. Use the Auto-refresh token feature.

5. Save the refresh token and past it to the field in the Bubble DataBase - User - refresh token

6. Use this refresh token whenever you need a valid access token.
