I want to implement calendar functionality in Umbraco backoffice which has features similar to google calendar where admin can schedule Appointments or events.
I want the following features in calendar/Scheduler at the time of adding task/Event :
Setting TimeZone
Setting Resources
Setting Recurrence Pattern
Setting Start and End Time
I have seen "Event Calendar" package in umbraco but as it is for front end users i am not looking anything like that.
Any help will be appreciated.

TL,DR; Any suggestions / tips to use a WebCal URL update as a trigger in a Flow?
Background: My 3 children use Schoology for their online learning. They get assignments through this application, but the problem with this is that they have to go to multiple places to get this list and they cannot check off the assignments when they are completed (they just stay in their list after they have submitted and completed the item).
Schoology provides a WebCal link to see all of these assignments in a calendar feed and I would like to take all of these entries and add them to Microsoft To-Do and allow the use of the functionality there. Power Automate does not allow for the usage of WebCal links from what I can see. (There is a request here for this functionality.) So my idea was to put the WebCal in Google Calendar, use the Google Calendar trigger When an event is added to a calendar to create a Microsoft To-Do entry with Add a to-do (V2). The problem is that Power Automate does not see new entries with the Google Calendar trigger When an event is added to a calendar.
In troubleshooting this, I changed the flow source of the Google Calendar to one that is manually maintained, created a Google event and Power Automate was able to create a To-Do list entry. So I know that the Flow is working, it is just that the trigger does not fire for the WebCal.
Any suggestions / tips to use a WebCal URL as a trigger in a Flow?
As per Google as my understand:
Google caches web call links for "between 8 and 24th hour"
So that is probably the root of your 'failed to trigger' issue.
I am using the Google Calendar API V3 to share Google calendars by managing the ACL Permissions. Many of my customers do not want an email notification when a new calendar is shared with them. Is there a way to disable that?
To explain bette what I am looking for: I also use the Google drive API v2 and that API addresses the issue by providing a sendNotificationEmails parameter that you can set to False when sharing a Google document (see this). I am looking for something similar.
Based from this documentation, you need to set sendNotifications to false so invitee didn't get the notification about the invitation even though invitee's calendar UI has New events setting to "true".
Check this example.
I don't believe this is currently possible. Sharing a calendar involves adding an ACL for a given user/group, and the notification email is generated upon adding the ACL. There does not appear to be any way to suppress the notification email. Even if you could, if you are sharing with a group, the individual users must click a link to add the calendar to their Calendar app.
I have put in a group of feature requests through the Calendar forum that would make this process easier. While it is aimed at the front end of the calendar application, I'm hoping they would add corresponding options to the APIs.
Can anyone give me some pointers on how to add a calendar event to the Windows Phone 7 calendar (preferably choosing the default calendar for the phone). Also querying it would be helpful too.
Chris, i'm sorry but their is not calendar control in the SDK at this time (as per http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff402549(VS.92).aspx section Unsupported Controls). You gonna have to build one yourself
edit: regarding adding an event in the phone calendar from within you app, this is not possible (yet ?), as per http://fragiledevelopment.wordpress.com/2010/06/10/licking-windows-phone-7/ (part about launcher and choosers)
Since there's no API available maybe you can generate an iCal/ICS event server-side with an url and launching the web browser with this url. Maybe the WP7 will recognize the format and ask to the user if he/she wants to add it to his/her calendar ?
I have a google calendar and i have used Gcalndar extension to view events on my website.
Is it possible somehow that i can send the all joomla users an email about new events from google calendar
You wouldn't be able to do it through Google Calendar unless you export a list of emails then paste that list in to the guests box in the event details. That would be a pretty big pain to do every time. It would probably be a lot easier to use one of the many newsletter management extensions to send out event announcements through the Joomla site. Tons of options in the JED here - http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/content-sharing/newsletter
The users of my Joomla based site often need to create an artice where the post some appointment dates. Now they would like to have an easy way to add calendar links for the most popular calendars ICal, Outlook, Thunderbird, Google Calendar. Do you know of a simple way how they could do that? Maybe there is a joomla plugin for that? Or maybe there is an online service somewhere where the user could enter the dates and then urls for the various calendars are created. Sort of lie ImageShack but for calenders ?
Have you taken a look at the different calendar extensions available for Joomla?
I would take a look at the list here.
The first one in the list, Zap Calendar sounds like it might meet your requirements. Although it is commercial!
