AppSheet Database Calendar View to Google Calendar

[juniesenior]

I created a personal application that is a task management system. Each task is assigned 4 key values (domain, importance, urgency, modality) and based on those 4 values, a virtual column called "level" computes the priority level of that task ranging from 1-14 where 1 is highest priority and 14 is lowest priority. 

This virtual column exists only in my Appsheet Application and not in the database itself. I am able to create a calendar view in the Appsheet Database to see all of my tasks that have deadlines in the deadline column. What I would like to do, create an automation where, any task in the AppSheet Database that has a deadline, is automatically added to 1 out of 14 calendars I have in my Google Calendar. Which calendar it will be added to, will depend on the priority level that is calculated by the virtual column in my Appsheet Application. Is this plausible? 

So for example, doing laundry is a level 1 task. I have a method of adding tasks via the Application that automatically populates the Database (as its data source). I would like that if I add a deadline (date column) of laundry for July 24, 2024, it is automatically added to my level 1 google calendar for that date. There is no time column.

To automate adding tasks from AppSheet to specific Google Calendars based on priority levels, you need to set up an automation workflow in AppSheet and use Google Apps Script. First, create an automation bot in AppSheet that triggers when a task with a deadline is added or updated. This bot should check if the deadline column is not empty and then call a webhook to handle the task.

Next, create a Google Apps Script that will receive the webhook request from AppSheet. This script will parse the task details, including the task name, deadline, and priority level, and map the priority level to the appropriate Google Calendar ID. Based on this mapping, the script will add the task as an all-day event to the corresponding Google Calendar.

Deploy the Google Apps Script as a web app, setting the access level to "Anyone, even anonymous," and copy the URL. In the AppSheet bot, configure the webhook step with this URL and construct the JSON payload to include the task details. Finally, test the automation by adding tasks with deadlines in your AppSheet app and verify that they are added to the correct Google Calendars. Monitor the process and adjust as necessary to ensure smooth operation.

Thank you so much! I will test this out and see how it works
