Update Event on Remote Calendar?

API
#1

What is the current way of updating the calendar event on a remote calendar. In particular update the subject, body, and start and stop times. It doesn’t look like it’s possible with the PATCH to the booking endpoint. I know there was an old remote account endpoint, but it is no longer listed in the API documentation.

@Trilliumaire welcome tot he Forum. The remoteaccount end point is no longer customer facing as this will soon be deprecated for V2 of the API. There was an /events/ endpoint that would allow you to modify the calendar event directly. Without that there isn’t a great way to do each individual event. You can generate a PATCH on a /profile/{profileId} (booking page) to modify the calendar event for all future bookings. I can get you more information on that if needed.

Yes, I would like to know how to do this. Send me the info. Thanks!

PATCH to v1/profiles/{profileId}

{
“afterwards” : {
“ownerEvent” : {
“title” : “{FNAME} and {BOOKING-PAGE-TITLE}”,
“description” : “Booking page: {BOOKING-PAGE-TITLE}\nDuration: {DURATION}\nBooking reference: {REF}\n\n{FORMFIELDS}”,
“location” : “”,
“participants” : [ “{EMAIL-QUESTION-CODES}” ]
},
“bookerEvent” : {
“title” : “Your meeting with {BOOKING-PAGE-TITLE}”,
“participants” : null
},
“bookingTitle” : “Your meeting with {BOOKING-PAGE-TITLE}”
}
}

This allows you to modify the booking event, title and description and location. Changing the start and stop times would require a reschedule or a PATCH to the booking end point which would be:
PATCH v1/bookings/{bookingId}:
{
{ “startsAt”: “2022-11-25T09:15:00”}
}

The end time is determined by the duration of the event already booked.

In the PATCH to v1/profiles/{profileId}, I don’t see any bookingId. So does this only change the general layout for that profile/calendar? I’m wanting to update specific events only, and not alter the overall layout.

The second patch to bookings endpoint is great for rescheduling though.

#6

Correct this will change things on every booking that is made after the updates. There isn’t an easy way to modify a calendar event through our API at the moment.

#7

OK, good to know. Will v2 of the API allow this?

#8

Potentially. We are still scoping things out.
