simple cal task for 2020

[Logan Fury]

Hello All,

Ive spent the last 3 days hunting all over here, reddit and google. I cannot find a non-root, working simple calendar task.

All I want is to read my google calendar and tell me if anything is scheduled that day or not.

Is this possible in 2020 without root please?

Thank you,

Logan

[Matevz Leskovsek]

I am using a plugin, but I think calendar module does same by itself,

Root is not needed to read calendar events. I just did a simple Google search and located several possibilities for you: Tasker Reading Calendar Events. I can't look at these to see which might work best because I'm at work and Reddit and other sites are blocked. This should give you some good ideas, though. 

[Steve L]

I did not write this, found it somewhere on the net. Every year, you have to go in and manually update the year. Other than that, I have never been rooted and it does a good job for me.

[Logan Fury]

Good Evening Matevz and Rich,

I apologize I finally collapsed around 8:30am and just woke up.

Matevz that looks interesting and I do have Marco's Calendar Task installed. Could you provide an XML to your Task please?

Good Evening Rich, thank you your search parameter found I hit I hadnt that looks promising, ill start todays research there.

Thank you both for your time gentlemen.

Good Evening Steve,

I just woke up, amazing timing lol.

Im downloading from that URL now. I already am thinking what if the year were a variable, and a %TIMES were used to get the year and apply it to a variable, that could probably be automated. 

Ill get it installed, do my experiments with year, and repost here.

Thank you so much for the link :)

Well i've installed the taskernet Task, and I put test events on my calendar for later today, but running the task returns that I have nothing scheduled.

Is there something in here I have to customize to get to my particular google calendar?

[Logan Fury]

I've found an edit step I need help with please.

7. Task --> If. If %event(#) neq 0 AND %event1 !~ %doubleevent AND %calendar1 ~ *MYCALENDAR*. This will basically check to see if %event is empty or if it matches the previous event, which in either case means there is no new event at this time. Replace MYCALENDAR with the name of the calendar you want to pull from.

im unsure the proper syntax here. do I put *Google* or *Google Calendar* or something else?

Thank you,

Logan

[James Monk]

I am having the same issue.  You have no events today.  Will keep following to see the answer.

[Logan Fury]

Ive got it partially working with the input *Google*

now its correctly telling me theres 2 events on todays callendar, but the time variables seem broken, its reading variable names instead of data for times and it cuts off after reading the start time of the second event but before reading the end time.

Here is my routine for assigning year to a variable. I see no reason this cant be inserted into the Cal task to eliminate requirement to manually edit every year.

 Get Year (649)
    A1: Variable Convert [ Name:%TIMES Function:Seconds to Medium Date Time Store Result In:%getyear ]
    A2: Variable Split [ Name:%getyear Splitter:, Delete Base:Off ]
    A3: Variable Split [ Name:%getyear2 Splitter: Delete Base:Off ]
    A4: Flash [ Text:%getyear22 Long:On ]  

[Logan Fury]

Here is what ive got atm. Its buggy, it cant read the events for some reason it keeps reading out the variable "%event"

Ive got it set to Google, im wondering if its possible to read the default windows 10 calendar? I tried replacing Google with Windows, Microsoft, and Intel but none of the three worked. Anyone know what command to use?

[Logan Fury]

I have 3 items on my calendar atm. test test 2 and test 3. Output of the Task is:

You have 1 event today %event at monday, january the 27th 2020 7:30pm to...

Can anyone figure out why %event isnt being populated with data? or why it stops abruptly at the time announcement?

The Task I believe is from 2016 or so, so some of this code is maybe obsolete?

[Steve L]

It would probably work better that way. I just haven't gotten around to it yet since it's only once a year for thirty seconds of work.

And about writing calendar events, I always just use default action "calendar insert": 

Both those activities work without fine root obviously.

Why does line 11 have %getyear22 when you only convert to %getyear and %getyear2. That's probably your sticking point.

[Logan Fury]

Hello Steve,

Action 3 splits %getyear2 by the space character, populating %getyear22 with the value of 2020. I've replaced the splitter of 2020 in action 11 with the variable that will change automatically to 2021 next year whenever the Task is run.

[Jimmy Jimmy]

Has this been resolved? I see a few taskernet links but not sure if they work. If not, I can work out an alternative.

[Logan Fury]

Good Morning Jimmy,

Nice to hear from you again! The situation is:

Matevz has posted a link to a perfectly working Task

Steve has posted the link to an older partially working Task, which I have edited a bit:

Get Cal Events (158)

    A17: Say [ Text:You have no events today Engine:Voice:com.cereproc.Caitlin:eng-GBR Stream:3 Pitch:5 Speed:5 Respect Audio Focus:On Network:Off Continue Task Immediately:Off ] If [ %calevents(#) eq 0 ]

    A21: Say [ Text:%eventtosay Engine:Voice:com.cereproc.Caitlin:eng-GBR Stream:3 Pitch:5 Speed:5 Respect Audio Focus:On Network:Off Continue Task Immediately:Off ]
    A22: End For 

At this point in the thread, a few of us are hoping the above script will be fixed. the last time I ran it, I got the spoken return:

%event, at Tuesday, January 28, 2020 08:00AM 2

evidently %event variable isnt being populated with data, and %eventtosay isnt populating its full data correctly. Have you time to look into this please?

Thank you for joining the thread!

I should have mentioned, Matevz' script only reads the next upcoming event and nothing after that.

The script above will list ALL cal events and is definitely worth resurrecting so the forum users have options. Id personally love to use the one that needs to be fixed!

Hi! I've created a project that allows you to both get and insert events into Google Calendar.

I had to make a small change to Tasker to allow it to work, so get the needed version of Tasker here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UfMEt1H6wjlMDdsqByn-flCRqE45PdJ1/view?usp=sharing

Get the Google Calendar project here!

Let me know if you have any questions. :)

Thank you for your contact.

   Join: connect multiple devices (send pushes, remote SMS, notifications) on Android, Windows, Mac, Linux

   Tasker: customize/automate anything on your phone!

   AutoApps: add advanced functionality to Tasker via plugins

     

João Dias

[Logan Fury]

This is amazing!! A change to the program itself to accommodate a Task concept? WOOT!

New Beta installed, Task installed. Im at the first question screen. Does API key go here, or Google username or Google email?

Following your tutorial video, may not need the above answered one sec...

[Logan Fury]

Im stuck. At 1:33 of your video, you type https://tasker.joaoapps.com/auth.html and Hit Enter.

Ive added this to my authorized domains, but no matter what I do, Enter doesn't work when I try to create the OAuth client ID

[Logan Fury]

sorry, sorry, figured out how to get past that. soldiering on...

[Logan Fury]

Ive followed all the steps at tutorial  https://forum.joaoapps.com/index.php?resources/add-a-row-of-data-to-a-google-spreadsheet-no-plugins.383/

when I run either CG Auth provided Task or the Auth Task I just made manually following the tutorial, I am sent to a google 401: That's an error 

Error: invalid_client

The OAuth client was not found

Request Details

That's all we know.

Any ideas what to do?

[João Dias]

That seems to indicate that you didn't enter the Client ID or Client Secret correctly...

[James Monk]

I downloaded and ran this task and it is missing my appointments by one day.  I have events on Wednesday and it is saying they are on Tuesday.

Joao - Does signing up for Google Cloud eventually cost something?

[Logan Fury]

I did a copy paste from the cloud webpage  to a text doc and saved it, then pasted that into into my email and pasted from that to the Task, nothing manual so there shouldnt have been an error. I saw from the Tute that the you used the long complete id with the url stuff at the end as I did.

I run the task again in case cloud just hasnt finished authing me yet, and then re-copy paste

Rich, in most cases it doesn't. Some APIs require you to enable billing but even those usually have free tiers. Google Calendar doesn't require billing I think :)

[James Monk]

If it is an error, how do we correct it?  I am getting the same message, and running GC Auth keeps bringing it back up even after I deleted the project and loaded it again.  Where do I make tasker "forget" the ID I put in the GC Auth?

[Logan Fury]

I contacted cloud support and they asked how I was using this. I gave them the link here, and now they say as Tasker is a 3rd party app, they will give no help.

Guys ive been copy/pasting and ending up with working Tasks and Projects for years now. I know what data I got from google cloud and I know I copy pasted it completely and correctly.

Auth is STILL going to 401. Im not a fan of google cloud :(

I dont know what to do now. This Task sounds fantastic and for some reason im not allowed to enjoy it.

Im too agitated to give up. Ive started over fresh and following Joao's tute for this. I see a difference in my navigation and whats in the video. Im being brought to an OAuth consent screen asking me to choose to configure and register app. The two choices are Internal and External. Internal is only avail to google cloud suite users.

Is there any chance your a suite user Joao and this is working due to being internal? im going to select external as thats my only option and continue

[James Monk]

I am still trying as well.  And like you have copied and pastes straight from the source, so not sure why we are getting the 401 error.

James you are probably aware of this but it doesnt  hurt to double check:

because of that .com on the end of our client IDs, when copying it, it sometimes auto adds a "http://" to the beginning. be sure to strip that off of the entry in your Tasks

This is absolutely ridiculous.

I've followed the tutorial exactly, started fresh done it a second time using the exact values Joao used (except for his private info) and generated a second Client ID and Secret Client codes. I used these and STILL 401.

Theres nothing more I can do. Can anyone please fix the task that was originally linked by Steve and that I posted above as partially working?

im going thru the tutorial again this time enabling calendar. This war may not be over yet!

James had you caught that part?

[Logan Fury]

went thru steps again, enabled google calendar api and STILL nothing but 401s

gonna try clearing the cache on my browser and try again....

and still a 401. I give up.

How do you input the information in GC Auth after running the task once? I ran the task and got the 401. Trying to figure out how to put in the ID again.

[Logan Fury]

OK I just got one step further. on the OAuth playground page, there is a button to authorize APIs. I just selected calendar api and clicked button. It took me to a google page and had me choose from my google accounts then grant access to cloud to read my calendar. I thought that would do it but im still 401.

This part wasnt in the tutorial. Joao, ive got a field that says:

"input your own scopes"

Just to the left of the Authorize Apis button. What do I fill in here please?

[Logan Fury]

Im no longer using GC Auth, im using the Auth Task Joao walks us thru making. its got static fields to input the id, secret client, and start and endpoints

[James Monk]

How do you reinsert the requested information? Once I ran GC Auth one time the popup for the ID doesn't appear anymore.

[Logan Fury]

change the IF conditionals on actions 2 and 10 from !SET to SET and this will reprompt you to enter the values

I can run that task but it only gives me one appointment, and I have two today.

[Jimmy Jimmy]

Hi mate, my task here. Two variables to set. %days and %calendar. Set %days to 0 if you want events from now until end of today. Set it to 1 if you want events from now to end of tomorrow. %calendar is the name of the calendar you want to get events from.

https://taskernet.com/shares/?user=AS35m8l0uoEmO7%2BknDeZdQZUuEvVArlrL3VSdWMhXha9Vu31T49NphT80MA9Lxr2%2Btjl&id=Task%3AHelp+List+Calendar+Events

[James Monk]

So the "say calendar events" task only brings up one appointment when there are multiple.  What needs to be changed so it will show all of them?

Hi! I've created a project that allows you to both get and insert events into Google Calendar.

Get the Google Calendar project here!

Let me know if you have any questions. :)

[Logan Fury]

Hello Jimmy!

Your post didnt get buried! I've installed Help List Calendar Events and it identified today's schedules perfectly!

Unfortunately, when I set %days higher than 0 it keeps giving today's events. 

This Profile seems perfect for a small tweak: Variable Query to automatically set desired day :)

My bad, Jimmy, the task is working fine, it took a bit for my test events to be seen by the Task.

Its working perfectly!

[Logan Fury]

I've edited the formatting a bit so event day stands out more noticeably for me.

I'd love to add am/pm display to this. I may try that edit after some sleep 

[Logan Fury]

So I just swapped the format order to month and days before year, and somehow the display has imploded..

What's with this, my phone was freshly rebooted >.<

[James Monk]

This one doesn't work for me.  I don't have a gmail account connected to my calendar, so can't use the @gmail.com

[Logan Fury]

Did you try with your normal email just as a test?

If that doesn't work, you might consider making a Gmail account just for use of this script. It's pretty awesome even if I can't figure out why a simple text edit broke the formatting after working fine for several firings of the Task.

Does your default calendar allow for Google sync?

thats with your default email @msn right?

I found this:

How do I sync Gmail calendar with Outlook?

Go to Settings, Mail, Contacts, Calendars and tap Add Account. Use the options to add Google and Outlook.com accounts. Accept the offer to sync calendars and that's it. Events added to Google Calendar, Outlook.com Calendar or Outlook if it's synced with Outlook.com, automatically appear in the iOS Calendar app.Dec 11, 2018

what do you think about making a dummy gmail just to test this?

Hi James,

It should work with all calendars on your phone. if you can see the calendar in your Calendar App, this task should work. You just need to get the calendar name right. Most of the time, it is the email address. But some may be named differently. Look inside the Calendar App to see.

Stuck at action #11? Is it the Goto action?

[Jimmy Jimmy]

My guess is you have commas in your date time variable and therefore Tasker treated that as different items. You either NOT use commas or reformat the array to NOT use comma as separator.

[James Monk]

It is the goto action. 

[James Monk]

I'm a noob to tasker, so not sure where to go to change any settings or information.

If nothing is found, action #11 will go directly to #17 which should display a dialog saying "0 events found". Do you see that?

If not, my guess is you don't have the AutoTools plug-in installed?

Hello Jimmy,

Sorry my eyes just closed on their own for several hours lol.

"My guess is you have commas in your date time variable and therefore Tasker treated that as different items. You either NOT use commas or reformat the array to NOT use comma as separator."

Im assuming thats for me regarding the broken formatting. I just ran the edit, and you were absolutely correct, I had put a comma between day of the week and year. Ive now replaced that with dashes, and the script is running fine.

Thank you so much for posting this. Id love to see this thread become a repository of working Cal scripts for 2020!

Can any of the more experienced coders here repair the following non working version:

[Jimmy Jimmy]

Sorry, missed that.

In action #14, Format Dates>Format, simply add the lowercase letter a at the end, that means to show AM or PM.

[James Monk]

No, it stops at 11 for several seconds and then just ends.  No popup like Logan showed, nothing.  I have tried my gmail and hotmail and google calendar.  Does google calendar need to be in quotes or anything special?

edit worked perfectly!! Last aestetic change im going for as I changed format from H to h, is to remove the proceeding 0 from the time. I think I can do that in my edit without breaking anything.

That is probably AutoTools Dialog acting up. That happens sometimes and I don't know why. We can easily change it to scene and get rid of the AutoTools Dialog action. Let me change it and get back to you.

Hi Logan and James,

Couple changes:
1. Scene is used instead of AT Dialog to show results

2. %calendar accepts the percentage sign for wildcard, i.e. will search all calendars for events. Of course, you can still enter a calendar name to limit to that one calendar.

[Logan Fury]

The list is stored in the %events() array. Depending on how you want to read it, e.g. read only the next event, ask user which one to read and etc. Bascially varianle search split an event into different segments and feed them into a Say action. Let me know what you have in mind and we can work something out based on your needs.

2. %calendar accepts the percentage sign for wildcard, i.e. will search all calendars for events. Of course, you can still enter a calendar name to limit to that one calendar.

Hello Jimmy,

Sorry had to step away from keys for a while. I have set %events() to the variable %say and used Search/Replace to strip out my email in the spoken string.

What Im getting now is 

the 30th of January 2020 1pm

the 30th of January 2020 2pm

event

This is starting to be nice and clean already but I definately want to change the second "the 30th of January 2020" to "til" and give a nice clean time span,

What ive done so far

A18 Variable Set %say to %events()

A19 Variable Search Replace variable: %say search: logan...@gmail.com replace:

A20 Say %say

Would it be easier to go earlier in the script and assign a variable with the end time stripped of day/date leaving only time?

Im thinking a string for say should probably be established earlier in the script, being built and adjusted as %events() fills up.

Right now, a raw reading of %events() produces this:

logan...@gmail.com the 30th of January 2020 1pm the 30th of January 2020 2pm test event 1 logan...@gmail.com the 30th of january 2020 2pm the 30th of January 2020 3pm test event 2

The syntax I would much rather see is:

event one: thursday, january 30th from 1pm til 2pm. test event 1. event two: thursday, january 30th from 2pm til 3pm. test event 2

etc.

Would this be too much trouble to format Jimmy?

[James Monk]

This one works for me. The second task didn't run though.

[Jimmy Jimmy]

James, you only need to run the first task, List Calendar Events 2. It will call the other task.

[Jimmy Jimmy]

No trouble at all. Jus different formats based on different needs. My approach is to simply list them, not Say them. If your main goal is to Say them, I can change the task a bit. Probably the best way is to to give you the date, month, year, time and title in different arrays. This way, you can append them together in whatever ways you want. Sounds good?

[Logan Fury]

That sounds amazing Jimmy, I cannot thank you enough :D

It's nice to have someone that knows Tasker and Auto tools, and is willing to help other people achieve things they need.  Thank you Jimmy.

I dont understand why you have so much troubles. I simply write events
to phone calendar (to any calendar that is synced to phone, I only use
google calendars myself) and then the phone syncs these new events
with gcalendar. To do this, in tasker type "calendar insert" in search
form when creating new tasks. For reading events I use thatplugin with
green icon "calendar task" and it is totally simple and
straightforward. The only annoying thing is calculating free spots
inside calendar, that is time between finishing last event and
starting new event.

There are some that have been using Tasker and programming with  it for years, and others that have just picked up tasker and never run any programs.  Looking at the "calendar insert" doesn't help me in the least to know what information is needed for that to function.

Hi Logan,

Please try tnis version:

https://taskernet.com/shares/?user=AS35m8l0uoEmO7%2BknDeZdQZUuEvVArlrL3VSdWMhXha9Vu31T49NphT80MA9Lxr2%2Btjl&id=Project%3AReddit+Cal

The information is now completely seperated into their own arrays:

%cal() - calendar name

%begin_year(), %end_year() - e.g. 2020

%begin_month(), %end_month() - e.g. January

%begin_day(), %end_day() - converted into readable format e.g. 1st, 2nd, 23rd, 28th, etc.

%begin_dayname(), %end_dayname() - e.g. Friday

%begin_time(), %end_time() - e.g. 4 05 PM

%title() - title

Using the format you mentioned earlier, the %events_say() array now has that format for each event. Just change this array if you want to tweak the format

When you run the task (set %days and %calendar accordingly like before), it will find the events and SAY "3 events found. Should I read them for you?". Then there is a Get Voice action which waits for your reply. Simply reply "Yes" or "Please" or "OK" if you want it to read. Then it will read one by one. If you reply "No", the task will SAY goodbye and end.

There are things that can still be done to make it better. But a nice start. Play with it and let me know if it works.

[Logan Fury]

Good Evening Jimmy,

Im sorry for the delay, I passed out like a log. 

New version is downloaded and installed, its alongside the old version, I edited Scene names to allow everything to co-exist in separate project tabs. 

Initially it seems to be working fantastic, But one thing that stands out is that during the reading of the event, the voice engine keeps speaking out the word "comma" every time it comes upon one.

Is this easy to resolve?
