Designate an "organizer" in Google Calendar integration

[Patrick_Paul]

I have an app that makes extensive use of the Google Calendar integration.  One of the weaknesses of it is that it uses my account (app creator) to generate all invitations, rather than the user's.  We've established in other threads that this cannot be altered at this time and is just a fact of life.

However, I am wondering if anyone has found a way to designate an "organizer" on their Google Calendar events?  The "organizer" normally receives all attendance confirmations and so on.  When my app generates a Gcal event, it does not designate an "organizer" so all those RSVPs basically go into oblivion and users are forced to check the calendar manually to see if someone has accepted or rejected the invitation.  Ideas?

It might be good to know that any of the built in integrations we have available to use are really just convenience features.  They allow easy use of the associated API's in a no code way.

We are free to ALWAYS build our own integrations. 

A couple ideas:

1)  You could build a targeted supplemental integration that simply updates the organizer on a previously submitted Calendar event.  Not sure ow the Calendar API supports this.  But you can certainly create a Google Script to manage it.

2)  You should be able to create a link to open the event in Calendar directly - maybe even in edit mode.  Then users could add the additional details they wish including specifying a different organizer.

I hope this helps!

Thanks for the suggestions @WillowMobileSys 

If only I had the time to create my own integration (it would require some learning on my part).  The second idea, a generated link, intrigues me.  I'll have to look into that... It sounds more doable on my time budget.
