Create GCal Events in Slack

This app adds a slash command, /cmd create-event, to your Slack workspace. Running the command in your workspace will create a calendar event based on the text following the command. Additionally, tagging users in your Slack channel within the command text will invite them to the event by email based on the email they used to join the Slack workspace.

Use it to quickly set up catch ups or meetings with people in your Slack workspace!

Examples

This app uses the quickAdd method of the gcal.events API in Autocode to parse out event information from a given input. It also uses a regex to inspect the command text for @-mentioned Slack users, and looks up the emails of mentioned users. For example, if a user runs the command like this:

/cmd create-event Lunch with @Jacob Lee at noon tomorrow

The app will create the following event:

And will send a confirmation message in Slack:

It will also recognize that Jacob Lee was mentioned in the event text, look up his email, and invite him to the event.

Thank You!
