Posting approved events to Google Calendar

Edventory can put every approved event on a Google Calendar the moment it's approved, and take it off again if it's denied, cancelled or deleted.

Connect Google Workspace

An administrator connects Google Workspace under Settings → Google Workspace, if it isn't already. In the Google Cloud project behind that connection, turn on the Google Calendar API (APIs & Services → Library). Calendar access is a separate permission: with the OAuth connection, click Grant calendar access under Events → Configure; with a service account, add https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.events to its domain-wide delegation, pasting the full scope list (Google keeps only what's in the box).

Choose the calendar

In Google Calendar, open the calendar's settings, copy the Calendar ID under Integrate calendar, and share the calendar with the connected Google account using Make changes to events. Paste the ID under Events → Configure → Google Calendar and save. Edventory checks it can add events there before saving.

Per-room calendars (optional)

To send a room's events to its own calendar, such as a Google room resource calendar, add that calendar to the location under Locations. Locations without one use the district calendar.

Turn it on

Check Post approved events to Google Calendar. Upcoming approved events go up right away; from then on every approval is posted as it happens.

Each calendar event shows the title, location, start and end, the description and the requesting organization (or the requester's name when no organization is given). It never includes the requester's email, phone, attendance or setup notes.

ℹ️
If Google can't be reached, or the calendar isn't shared with the right account, the event shows Couldn't update Google Calendar with the reason, and Edventory keeps trying. Fix the cause, then use Sync now or Try again now on the event. Turning the feature off takes the upcoming events Edventory added off the calendar; past events stay.
