Sync Multiple Google Calendars into One

When you want to sync multiple Google Calendars into one. Currently Google Calendar doesn't have this option and IFTT/Zapier don't allow an easy way to do this.

This is useful for a collective Busy/Free Calendar or Google Home integration.

It uses:

• Library: https://github.com/tanaikech/BatchRequest
• Integration: Calendar v3

If you edit appsscript.json to the uploaded one, they can be used, no further action is necessary.

Getting Started

1. Make sure every calendar you want sync is shared with the account that holds the shared calendar.
2. Log into the account that holds the shared calendar and go to the Google Apps Scripts website.
3. Replace everything in Code.gs with the contents of SyncCalendarsIntoOne.gs.
4. Go to View -> Show Manifest and update its content with appsscript.json.
5. Update calendarsToMerge, calendarToMergeInto, and daysToSync.
6. Click on the clock icon to add a trigger.

• Add a Time-driven event with it running every hour.
• Click on notifications and delete any notifications if you don't want to get notification failure emails.

Notes

• Google App Scripts has a daily quote of 5k events created per day. See Quotas for Google Services
• Be sure to turn off "notifications".
• You don't need to use your personal default calendar for this. In google calendar you can create a new calendar, and you can get its ID at the details section. It will probably be something like: [email protected].
