How to integrate Google Calendar with Adalo?

Step 1: Sign Up and Log In to Adalo

Head over to Adalo and sign up if you haven't already.
Log in to your Adalo account.

Step 2: Create a New App

Click "Create New App" on your Adalo dashboard.
Pick a project template or start from scratch, whatever floats your boat.
Give your app a name and choose the platform (Web App or Native Mobile App).

Step 3: Install the Custom Actions Component

On the left panel, hit the "+ Add Components" button.
Look for "Custom Actions" and add it to your project.
This lets you create custom API calls within Adalo.

Step 4: Enable Google Calendar API

Go to the Google Developers Console.
Create a new Project or pick an existing one.
Navigate to "Library" and search for "Google Calendar API".
Click "Enable" to activate the API for your project.
Go to "Credentials" and create new OAuth 2.0 Client ID credentials. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up the consent screen and authorized redirect URIs.

Step 5: Set Up OAuth 2.0 for Authentication

Grab the Client ID and Client Secret from the credentials you just made.
In Adalo, configure the Authentication settings using these keys.

Step 6: Create Custom Actions in Adalo

Head back to Adalo, open your project, and go to the "Custom Actions" tab.
Click "New Custom Action".
Name the custom action and set the type to "Create".
Configure the request details using the Google Calendar API documentation:
Method: POST
URL: https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/primary/events
Headers: Content-Type: application/json, Authorization: Bearer {access_token}
Request Body: Format according to Google Calendar API reference for creating events.

Step 7: Connect the Custom Action to App Functions

In the Adalo editor, go to the component or screen where you want to trigger the Google Calendar Event Creation.
Add an action workflow that calls the custom action you made earlier.
Pass any necessary parameters like event title, start time, and end time.

Step 8: Test the Integration

Preview your app and perform the action that should create a Google Calendar event.
Check if the event shows up in your Google Calendar.

Step 9: Troubleshoot if Necessary

Check the console and error messages in both Adalo and Google API responses.
Make sure the OAuth 2.0 authentication is set up correctly.
Ensure all required fields are being passed properly to the Google Calendar API.
