To test, create a new event, prefixing its title (or summary) with “Call: “, save it, wait a few seconds, and refresh your Calendar.app to see your event updated with a Google Meet link. Securely connect, collaborate, and celebrate from anywhere. When creating the new trigger, choose “From calendar” as the event source, and “Calendar updated” on “Enter calendar details” also fill your email on “Calendar owner email”, and save. In order to do that, find the “Triggers” section in the left sidebar, then choose “Add Trigger” on the bottom right. The last step is to set a trigger to run that script as soon as the calendar is updated, which is easy enough thanks to the Triggers section present in the Apps Script platform. It just looks for the next 10 upcoming events created by the current authenticated user, checks whether they already have a Google Meet set up, and sets one up when needed. Features: Works Cross-Platform Duo works on iPhone, iPad, web, and other mobile platforms so you can call and hangout with friends and family using just one app. It’s simple, reliable, and works on smartphones and iPad, and on the web. Luckily, App Scripts supports all methods and objects from Google APIs, so it boils down to a simple lookup and patch:įunction addGoogleMeet () Google Duo is the highest quality video calling app. With the Calendar ID at hand, we can begin hacking on the script itself. Since it is my primary calendar, it happen to be my email address, but your mileage may vary. It can be found over at Google Calendar, clicking the three dots on the right of your calendar on the leftmost sidebar, and scrolling to the end, right over at the Integrate calendar section.

With the editor open, use the + button next to Services to add a new Calendar service integration. The app will be installed instantly on your Windows/Mac and will open in a new window. To get started, access and create a new project. My goal here is to have a script to run and add a new conference room to any calendar event I create with the prefix “Call:”, since well, Calendar.app does not do that. Apps Script ends up being a really easy way to schedule tasks to run periodically, or even based on other triggers, which I will explain right below. Not sure how I never heard about that before, but well, go figure. It wasn’t before a few minutes ago that I learned about Google Apps Script, a platform offered by Google to automate tasks. The result? Meet is about to start, but there’s no conference link: havoc. For a while now, I’ve struggled using Google Calendar and the stock Calendar.app on macOS, since it is not able to automatically add a Google Meet link to new events.
