I want to put the same thing in twilio studio flow function, but I can't do it.
I just want to take the date/month and add the event in my google calendar.
can someone help me with it?
clientMonth, clientDay this variable are dynamic , thos two digis is similar.
Dependensis is googleapis-^65.0.0
Assets=auth.json
Env variable is calendarId-***** and GOOGLE_CREDENTIALS = /auth.json
const {google} = require('googleapis');
require('dotenv').config();
const fs = require('fs').promises;
exports.handler = async function (context, _event, callback) {
// Google calendar API settings
const SCOPES = 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar';
const authJson = JSON.parse(
await fs.readFile(Runtime.getAssets()[context.GOOGLE_CREDENTIALS].path)
);
const auth = new google.auth.JWT(
authJson.client_email,
null,
authJson.private_key,
SCOPES
);
const calendar = google.calendar({version : "v3",auth});
const TIMEOFFSET = '+02:00';
var clientMonth = 5;
var clientDay = 23;
var todayDate = new Date();
var clientDate = new Date(todayDate.getFullYear(), clientMonth-1,
clientDay);
const dateTimeForCalander = () => {
//let todayDate = new Date();
let year = clientDate.getFullYear();
let month = clientDate.getMonth()+1;
if (month < 10) {
month = `0${month}`;
}
let day = clientDate.getDate() ;
if (day < 10) {
day = `0${day}`;
}
let hour = todayDate.getHours();
if (hour < 10) {
hour = `0${hour}`;
}
let minute = todayDate.getMinutes();
if (minute < 10) {
minute = `0${minute}`;
}
let newDateTime = `${year}-${month}-${day}T${hour}:${minute}:00.000${TIMEOFFSET}`;
let event = new Date(Date.parse(newDateTime));
let startDate = event;
// Delay in end time is 1
let endDate = new Date(new
Date(startDate).setHours(startDate.getHours()+1));
return {
'start': startDate,
'end': endDate
};
};
let dateTime = dateTimeForCalander();
console.log(dateTime);
// Event for Google Calendar
let Clientevent = {
'summary': `This is the summary.`,
'description': `This is the description.`,
'start': {
'dateTime': dateTime.start,
'timeZone': 'Europe/Tirane'
},
'end': {
'dateTime': dateTime.end,
'timeZone': 'Europe/Tirane'
}
};
function insertEvent (eventi) {
let response = calendar.events.insert({
auth: auth,
calendarId: context.calendarId,
resource: eventi
});
}
response.setBody({
success: true,
message: insertEvent(Clientevent),
})
return callback(null,response );
}

I’m on my phone, so apologies for a brief answer. I believe the issue is that you are performing an asynchronous task to add the event to the calendar, but you are returning the callback synchronously on the last line of the function. When you call the callback function, all processes started within the function are terminated. So if you still have an asynchronous API call running, calling the callback will end that call.
Make sure that you only call the callback when all asynchronous tasks that you perform within the function are completed. I think the asynchronous call you need to wait for is the call to calendar.events.insert .
