Anand Avinash Dosapati How to get event id from Google Calendar
Hello Gurus,
I am a newbie for apex & integrations.
In my org, ScheduleOnce was used to sync SF events to Google Calendar events for Create/Delete actions. Now, I would like to a custom integration leveraging Trigger (After Update) to call Delete API https://developers.google.com/calendar/v3/reference/events/delete when the event status is set to 'Cancelled'. To delete an event, EventId should be passed. The only way I could think of to get the Google Event ID is to pass the subject, start and end times and get it. kindly provide some inputs on how to get the Google Event ID.

Thanks in advance

1. Click the event in your Google Calendar.
2. It will take you to a page with a URL such as https://calendar.google.com/calendar/render?pli=1#eventpage_6%7Ceid-NGh0Z3BtbTFobWFrNzQ0cjBrYmtkY29kYXIgZXVndTlrYW4xZGRpMXBtaTZzazNpYjWoNmdAZw-1-0-
3. Look for "eid" in the URL.
4. Select and copy the string between eid- and the next -. (In my example here, it is NGh0Z3BtbTFobWFrNzQ0cjBrYmtkY29kYXIgZXVndTlrYW4xZGRpMXBtaTZzazNpYjWoNmdAZw.)
5. Now you need to decode from Base64 format. You could paste that string into a tool such as https://www.base64decode.org/.
6. The result will be two strings separated by a space. The first string is your Event ID.
Please follow the steps.

If you know the corresponding calendarID, you may use Events: list.
By sending HTTP request with the calendarId parameter, you can retrieve eventId. Request like:
GET https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/calendarId/events
If the request is successful, this method may return a response body with either single one-off events and instances of recurring events.
To know more use the below link:
