Attach hangouts meet conference data with event

[Sohail-Ahmad-PRO]

How can I attach google hangouts/meet conference data/link to a google calendar event in this package. Could you please let me know if this package has such support?

[emanuelbiet]

Did you achieve any progress on this issue?

[Sohail-Ahmad-PRO]

@emanuelbiet Not yet. There should be support for scheduling google meet meetings and get its conference details in the event object but currently, it's not happening.

Google Calendar API specifies that it is possible:
https://developers.google.com/calendar/api/v3/reference/events#conferenceData

You can always work on it and submit a PR to this package to make it happen.

Hello @emanuelbiet @Sohail-Ahmad-PRO , you can set conferenceData property of your event like this:

$event = new Event;
$event->name = 'A new event';
$event->description = 'Event description';
$event->startDateTime = Carbon\Carbon::now();
$event->endDateTime = Carbon\Carbon::now()->addHour();
$event->conferenceData = [
    'createRequest' => [
        'conferenceSolutionKey' => [
            'type' => 'hangoutsMeet'
        ],
        'requestId' => 'sdg-mjae-hat'
    ]
];
$event->addAttendee([
    'email' => '[email protected]',
    'name' => 'John Doe',
    'comment' => 'Lorum ipsum',
]);
$event->save('insertEvent', [
    'sendUpdates' => 'all',
    'conferenceDataVersion' => 1,
]);

I am testing it with a GSUITE using a service account, it works correctly, but a function that handles the requestId code generation is needed

Usually the Google endpoint handles the code generation if none is presented, but somehow it's not working for me, so I just wrote it

[StefanoDucciConvenia]

Yes exactly it is working. But you need to send a random requestId, even though this id is not the final id of the meeting.

You can get the real id from returned event of save method
