connectByOAuth( )

Developer Preview

Connects to an external calendar using the OAuth authorization protocol.

Description

The authorization flow should take place as follows:

  1. Call the function with the appropriate parameters.
  2. Redirect the user to the URL received in the response.
  3. The user authorizes access.
  4. The user is redirected to the URL you provide in the redirectUrl parameter, with a query parameter connectionId containing the new connection ID.

If the attempt to connect fails, the user is still redirected to the URL you provide in the redirectUrl parameter, but with a query parameter error containing one of the following values:

  • reject: The user rejected the authorization request.
  • unsupported: Connecting to the user's external account type is not supported by the provider.
  • internal: An error unrelated to the client or the request that prevents the server from fulfilling the request.

Once a connection is successfully created, use listEvents() to obtain an up-to-date list of events in the connected external calendars.

Note: Use listProviders() to find out whether to connect to a particular provider using this endpoint or connectByCredentials().
