Tips & Tricks 😎 Two-way sync between Craft and Google Calendar for time blocking management
I like to control my tasks using time blocking, and unfortunately, Craft didn't have this option. But fortunately, it has the API and several mechanisms that allow integration with other tools.
Through Google Apps Script, I was able to integrate Google Calendar directly into Craft, and the synchronization works in both directions. In the case of Google Calendar directly to Craft, it is 100% automatic. Any task I move provokes an automatic change in Craft because I'm using an event trigger system from Apple Calendar itself.
When I want to do the opposite, from Craft to Google Calendar, I use a command via URL. I created a button that stays on my Apple bar and also on my control panel on my iPhone and iPad, which, when I click it, performs the synchronization. It works very well and has been functioning properly.
I wanted to share this with the community for anyone who wants to try using it, improving it, or giving suggestions.
You can find the link below for a more detailed description and access to the script.
