Hi there,

I was wondering if someone is experienced with updating google calendar events with the node-google? I am able to create events with the following function:

msg.payload = {  
'colorId': 3,  
'summary': 'summary',  
'location': 'location',  
'description': 'description.',  
'start': {  
'dateTime': '2018-11-08T15:00:00',  
'timeZone': 'Europe/Zurich',  
},  
'end': {  
'dateTime': '2018-11-08T19:00:00',  
'timeZone': 'Europe/Zurich',  
},  
'event':{  
'colorId': 'purple',  
'foreground': 'purple',  
},  
};  
return msg;

i was wondering if anyone could help me to explain how to just send an update to change the colorId of the event..

the flow looks like this: inject-\>function-\>google calendar out...

Best Regards...

haven't used it in a while but I think you need to send it as `#RRGGBB`

thanks for your reply... I need to clarify my question. Creating an event with the above code and flow works fine. As well as the color of the event. I was wondering if someone has a solution to just update a created event and just change its color...

thanks for any help

Hello  
i have read your post, and it seems you got the same problem as me.  
I can create an event in the google agenda, but I absolutely don't know hos to modify, chnage, shift, delete it.  
Did you get an answer? A solution?

Also have the same problem, wondering if we need to use the calendar API until a module is created directly [https://developers.google.com/calendar/quickstart/js](https://developers.google.com/calendar/quickstart/js)
