Calendar Events not posting to the appropriate calendar

[Samuel Butterfield]

Hi,

I have a script that creates calendar events from a Google Sheet, it super basic and creates the events as desired. However, I cannot get the events to post to anything other than my default calendar. I want them to post to a shared calendar and despite using the calendar ID in the script it will not work and continues to post to my default calendar.

I have tried multiple different calendar IDs and none are working. In the example below I replaced the actual calendar ID with a placeholder.

Here is the portion of the code that creates the calendar event. Hopefully someone has some suggestions or could point out something I am missing.

Thanks!

// Create a new calendar event.

var cal = CalendarApp.getCalendarById("Calendar ID");

var event = CalendarApp.createEvent(eventTitle, new Date(theStart), new Date(theEnd));

// Add the event description.

event.setDescription(eventDescription);

// Add the event location

event.setLocation(eventlocation);

// Write the calendar ID to a cell in S of the current row.

    sheet.getRange(i, 17).setValue(event.getId());

"Calendar Id" needs to be a constant, like CALENDAR_ID, assigned to the ID of the calendar you are trying to access.

I think as well as Andrew's response - you probably need to use the cal object you create at the beginning - rather than using the default CalendarApp to create the event - my suspicion (not tested) is that this will default to the default calendar as you have noticed rather than using the one specified by the calendar ID in the first line.
