Google Calendar Integration
Frappe provides an integration with Google Calendar in order for all users to synchronize their events.
Setup
In order to allow a synchronization with Google Calendar you need to connect to your application in Google Cloud Platform and then create an account for each of your users:
- Create a new project on Google Cloud Platform and generate new OAuth 2.0 credentials
-
Add
https://{yoursite}
to Authorized JavaScript origins -
Add
https://{yoursite}?cmd=frappe.integrations.doctype.gcalendar_settings.gcalendar_settings.google_callback
as an authorized redirect URI - Add your Client ID and Client Secret in the Gcalendar application: in "Modules>Integrations>Google Calendar>GCalendar Settings"
Once this step is successfully completed, each user can create their own account in
Google Calendar > GCalendar Account
.
They will be requested to authorize your Google application to access their calendar information and will then be redirected to a success page.
