GoogleCalendar - IEEE-Team-3/map GitHub Wiki

The Google Calendar integration allows the app to sync important events such as task deadlines, meetings, and announcements with a user’s Google Calendar. This helps users stay on top of their tasks and other important activities by having them in one place.

• Event Sync: Automatically create and update events on the user’s Google Calendar based on task deadlines, announcements, and other key dates.
• Meeting Scheduling: Schedule meetings and sync them directly to users’ Google Calendar.
• Event Notifications: Send notifications to users via Google Calendar reminders for upcoming deadlines or meetings.

1. A user creates a new task with a deadline in the app.
2. The system creates a corresponding event on the user’s Google Calendar.
3. The user receives a reminder on their Google Calendar as the deadline approaches.

const { google } = require('googleapis');

const calendar = google.calendar('v3');

async function createEvent(auth) {
  const event = {
    summary: 'Task Deadline: Fix login issue',

    end: {
      dateTime: '2025-04-30T11:00:00-07:00',

    },
    reminders: {
      useDefault: true,
    },
  };

  const res = await calendar.events.insert({

  });
