IBM App Connect Integration with Google Calendar
Here in this blog, we will learn about IBM App Connect Integration with Google calendar.
IBM App Connect Enterprise seamlessly integrates with Google Calendar, providing a powerful toolkit for executing various tasks such as calendar sharing, manipulation of calendars, and comprehensive event management.
The dedicated Google Calendar Request node in the IBM App Connect Enterprise Toolkit facilitates this integration, allowing users to connect to Google Calendar and issue requests for tasks like calendar creation, retrieval, update, deletion, and free/busy checks, as well as event management actions like creation, retrieval, update, deletion, import, movement, and quick event creation.
To set up the integration, follow these steps:
Configurations:
- In the IBM App Connect Enterprise Toolkit, create a flow with a Google Calendar Request node.
- Establish a new policy project to store policies generated during connector discovery.
- Create an Integration server, defining the Vault key and work directory.
- Launch Connector Discovery in the node’s Basic tab, specifying policy project and vault details.
- Retrieve credentials from your Google Calendar account.
- Connect to Google Calendar, input credentials, and configure properties in the Connector Discovery wizard.
- Retrieve data in App Connect by sending the ID of the specific event.
The Google Calendar Request node supports synchronous and non-transactional actions. This means that even in the event of a message flow failure and subsequent rollback, the operation on the Google Calendar data source persists. Rigorous testing is crucial to validate the integration’s functionality, using either sample data or actual Google Calendar account data. Once testing is successful, deploying the integration activates it, making it operational for continuous use.
In conclusion, this comprehensive integration process ensures a seamless connection between IBM App Enterprise and Google Calendar. It provides a robust solution for performing various actions on Google Calendar content, enhancing productivity and streamlining tasks within the enterprise environment.
