Thanks, Austin. I would like to use google calendar to handle conference meeting scheduling. We have a couple unique fields (such as conference meeting type, meeting ID, etc) that needed to be on the UI and I doubt if they should be standard fields for google to offer to everyone.
I was thinking of another approach: catch the CRUD event and just append our fields (default values) as string to the description field. For example, I'd want to catch CREATE event, update the description field, then let google sent out invite to guests. It would be the best if I can catch this event before google sends out emial to the guests. Otherwise, I'd have to scan for RSS feeds constantly and update the description if detect any CRUD events. The problems are: 1. performance, 2. I may have to send one more email to the guests about the updated description field. However, I doubt Google Calendar has api for these events. Any comments?
