Note

The event will be created on the calendar through which you authenticated the connector.

 List FALSE
Reminders Alarms triggered at a specified time before an event starts. A reminder consists of the following:
  • a numeric value in minutes before the event start time for when to show the reminder
  • a delivery method to use: pop-up or email

Example: {"Method":"popup","Minutes":"2"}

Note

Reminders can be specified for whole calendars and for individual events. Reminders are private information, specific to an authenticated user. They are not shared across multiple users.

 List FALSE

Tip

To add a room or resource to an event, you need to find the designated email address for the room or resource.

In Google Admin, copy the resource email address from the resource page and add it to the list of attendees in the Attendees field. Example of an email address for a meeting room: c_244bu0rtcm6sjhhg2ce582a2h5m4@resource.calendar.google.com.

Created Time The date and time at which the event was created in ISO format: YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss+00:00. The +00:00 is the timezone offset. String
ICalUID Event unique identifier as defined in RFC5545. It is used to uniquely identify events accross calendaring systems and must be supplied when importing events via the import method.
