Get Google Calendar reminders in Zulip! This is a great way to see your reminders directly in
|
|
your Zulip feed.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
First download and install our <a href="/api">Python Bindings and example scripts</a>.
|
|
This bot should be set up on a trusted machine, because your API key is visible to local users
|
|
through the command line or config file.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Next, follow the instructions for <b>Step 1</b> at
|
|
<a href="https://developers.google.com/google-apps/calendar/quickstart/python">this link</a>
|
|
to get a <code>client_secret</code> file. Save this file as <code>client_secret.json</code>
|
|
to your <code>~/</code> directory.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Next, install the latest Google API Client for Python by following the instructions on
|
|
the <a href="https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/python/start/installation">
|
|
Google Website</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Then go to your <b>Zulip Settings</b> by clicking on the cog in the top right corner,
|
|
and then clicking on <b>Settings</b>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Click on the tab that's labeled <b>Your bots</b> and click on <b>Show/change your API
|
|
key</b>. Enter your password if prompted, and download the <code>zuliprc</code> file. Save
|
|
this file as <code>.zuliprc</code> to your <code>~/</code> directory.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Run the <code>get-google-credentials</code> with this command:
|
|
<pre>python /usr/local/share/zulip/integrations/google/get-google-credentials</pre>
|
|
It should open up a browser and ask you for certain permissions. Give Zulip access, and move
|
|
on to the next step. If it doesn't open a browser, follow the instructions in the terminal
|
|
window.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Now, all that's left to do is to run the <code>gcal-bot</code> script, in the same
|
|
directory as the <code>get-google-credentials</code> script, with the necessary paramaters:
|
|
<pre>python /usr/local/share/zulip/integrations/google/gcal-bot --user foo@zulip.com</pre>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <code>--user</code> flag specifies the user to send the reminder to. <br/>There are
|
|
two optional flags that you can specify when running this script:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<code>--calendar</code>: This flag specifies the calendar to watch from the user's
|
|
Google Account. By default, this flag is set to a user's primary or default calendar.
|
|
To specify a calendar, you need the calendar ID which can be obtained by going to Google
|
|
Calendar and clicking on the wedge next to the calendar's name. Click on settings in
|
|
<b>Calendar settings</b> in the drop down, and look for the <b>Calendar Address</b>
|
|
section. Copy the <b>Calendar ID</b> from the right side of the page and use that as the
|
|
value for this flag.
|
|
|
|
<p><img class="screenshot" src="/static/images/integrations/google/calendar/002.png"/></p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<code>--interval</code>: This flag specifies the interval of time - in minutes - between
|
|
receiving the reminder, and the actual event. For example, an interval of 30 minutes
|
|
would mean that you would receive a reminder for an event 30 minutes before it is
|
|
scheduled to occur.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Don't close the terminal window with the bot running. You will only get reminders if the
|
|
bot is still running.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>Congratulations! You're done!</b><br/>You will get a Zulip private message, whenever you
|
|
have a calendar event scheduled, that looks like this:
