Hello, I am the developer of a program that allows users to create work schedules for their workers. My app is currently set up so that workers can go to a special address on my website and see their schedules there. Each worker's schedule is different.
I would like to give workers the capability to have their work schedules appear in their google calendar. I would like for the work schedules to stay up-to-date automatically. I other words, I would like for the workers to enter their credentials once, and have their calendar updated automatically every time the schedule changes. I know I can program this via the API but it's a question of how and what problems I will run into. I can see two ways of doing this with the API: 1) create a master google account for my company, and create a new google calendar in that account for each worker, and share that calendar privately with the user. 2) access each worker's account and create and update a calendar on their account. There could be up to several thousand workers, each with 100~300 events per year. Schedules are usually made one month at a time, and are updated a handful of times for each month. In other words I'm looking at about 1 million event updates per year. My questions are: A. Has anybody already done something like this? What are your recommendations? B. Will I run into quota limits at some point? C. Are there other ways of doing this I haven't thought of? D. Method 1 implies I will have up to thousands of calendars in one google account. Will google let me do this? E. Method 2 means the worker "owns" his calendar, which means they might accidentally alter the calendar (like add an event) which will make updating it a pain... :/ Thanks, Oliver --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Calendar Data API" group.
