Add to Calendar

[Alejandro]

Hi!
About Calendar:

1. How do I select which calendar to use with Utils.addToCalendar?

2. Is there a way to delete an event with Utils.updateCalendarEvent?

Thanks!

Hi Alejandro,

You can add calendar_name to the info dictionary.

For example:

var event_info = {"calendar_name" : "Work",
			"title" : "Test Event 1",
			"location" : "Big Ben, London, UK",
			"notes" : "This is a note",
			"url" : "https://www.tapforms.com",
			"all_day" : true};

I haven’t added a function to delete an event or reminder yet. You’re the first to ask for that. I suppose it could be useful.

Are you storing the event ID anywhere?

[Alejandro]

HI Brendan!
thank you!
I’m going to store the eventID in other fields of that form. Is like A600F804-4729-48FC-906B-E85ED7ACC874:117BCA7E-0500-457C-A101-DB830C1E3EE0

My idea is to have a special calendar for TF, and create events every time I see a Movie for example.
Then I can Visualise on my calendar when I saw movies. And also I add the link like:
tapformz://record/view/db-d604320e10394cd582b9b345b76a8f97/frm-b1e2b68a569c4dbe9e468c31f3a62188/rec-XXXXXXXXXXX
to get the details.

But If I need to reset my calendar I want to delete all days for example.

By the way, is there a way to run a script and the output (like console.log) save it to a file?

Kind regards
Alejandro

No I don’t have a function to automatically save the console log to a file.

But you can select the output in the console log and copy and paste it somewhere.

Thank you!

I have followed the instructions for using Utils.addToCalendar, but something is not working.
The console output for the line console.log(event_info) is “undefined”.

I tried using a script field and a form script, with the same outcome.

I am running MacOS 11.3.1 , in case it matters.

Is this function still available? What may I be doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for any pointers.

Can you post your script?

[Jaime Moreno]

This is the script:

function AddCalendar() {
var event_info = {“calendar_name” : “Reminders”,
“title” : “Test 1”,
“location” : “Location 1”,
“notes” : “Notes 1”,
“all_day” : true};
var start_date = new Date();
var end_date = new Date();
end_date.setDate(end_date.getDate() + 1);
console.log(start_date);
console.log(end_date);
console.log(event_info);

var identifier = Utils.addToCalendar(event_info, start_date, end_date);
console.log(identifier);
}

AddCalendar();

And this is the console.log output:
5/7/21, 4:15:15 PM / Test Calendar / TestScript
Fri May 07 2021 16:15:15 GMT-0400 (EDT)
Sat May 08 2021 16:15:15 GMT-0400 (EDT)
[object Object]
undefined

Thanks!

It works for me:

5/7/21, 2:16:59 PM / New Form / Add Event
Fri May 07 2021 14:16:59 GMT-0700 (PDT)
Sat May 08 2021 14:16:59 GMT-0700 (PDT)
[object Object]

Did you give permission to TapForms to access your calendar?

[Jaime Moreno]

Thank you Daniel…. I did not think about that….
was wondering what else I could be doing wrong, but that was not one consideration…..

Appreciate the quick reply.
Thanks very much!!

[Daniel Leu]

Happy it works for you now!
