I have been asked to create a feature that will automatically take the details from a form submission and to populate & create a google event on an existing google calendar. Hopefully to all process as the user clicks "Submit"

I have been looking into the Google Api Documentation and at various guides, but have been unable so far to produce any results.

Does this seem like a plausable feat?


My current plans:

Build a php script to use OAuth, the authentication parameter for using google api services... then to sign into a preset account, create the event using the details from the calendar (using a getElementById / Class PHP function to save the details as variables.

Save the google calendar event, close the connection and end the script.


User... Fills in RSForm, Clicks submit, redirected to homepage. (Background processes: Creates event, now viewable on the calendar)

For anyone interested, I managed to develop a script to complete this specification. (without much help)

It can be found here:

amazewebs.yitweb.com/#scriptv5

The script I created is using a Google Service Account for authentication and takes the variables from the forms output.

To get the form to output these variables I wrote this code within the "PHP Scripts/$thankYouMessage":
$thankYouMessage= '
<form id="silentform" action="/path/to/this/file.php" method="get">
<input name="name" value="'.$_POST["form"]["Name"].'"/>
<input name="dateFrom" value="'.$_POST["form"]["DateFrom"].'"/>
<input name="dateTo" value="'.$_POST["form"]["DateUntil"].'"/>
<input name="comment" value="'.$_POST["form"]["Comment"].'"/><br />
<input type="submit" value="Send This Data to Script">
</form>';

Be sure to enable the 'Thank you' message

Try to use some code of this generator: kalinka.tardate.com/
In my case there was:

{date:value} - as calendar value in date format: Ymd
{time:value} - as dropdown field to choose hour:
0900|9:00
1000|10:00
{data:value} - as text field

Then code should look like this:
<a href="www.google.com/calendar/event?action=TEM...&details={data:value}">Add to Google Calendar</a>
