Hi All,
I'm writing some automations to update Google Calendar events when a record changes within SmartSuite (such as when a booking date changes, for example, to make sure the Google Calendar event is kept up-to-date.
On event creation, I've been putting the SS Record ID field in the description field of the gcal event, so that then when I need to update the event I can find it based on this. Would it not be more elegant to do it the reverse way - I presume the GCal event has a similar ID, and I could store this within SS to then use to find the correct event at a later date? I can't seem to do this with the options available, however.
I can obviously set the Start Date of an event based on field in my SS record, but I cant set the time in this fashion, which seems odd to me?
I'm also wondering how I would set an event to be all day long (rather than having specific hours).
And finally I'm finding that if I update an event to change, say, just the start date, all other fields are wiped out in the update process. For example, if I carry out just a date change, the title of the GCal event is lost. This seems to be more than just updating the required field!
Best wishes, Richard.
