Google Calendar Event Management Tool

A streamlined web application to manage Google Calendar events using regex-based command parsing. Integrating with Google’s Calendar API and OAuth 2.0, this tool enables users to create, delete, and list events with structured text commands, minimizing manual input.

Overview

This application leverages regular expressions to interpret user commands for event management tasks, allowing users to efficiently add, modify, or remove events directly in their Google Calendar.

Key Features

Regex-Based Command Parsing

  • Natural Command Parsing: The app uses regular expressions to parse structured user inputs like: "Create meeting on 2024-12-15 from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM at the office with team members."
  • Keyword Recognition: Regex patterns detect event attributes such as title, date, time, location, attendees, and description, extracting them for precise calendar entry management.

Google Calendar API Integration

  • Direct Calendar Access: Through the Google Calendar API, authenticated users can create, update, or delete events within their Google Calendar.
  • Command-Based Event Management: Commands parsed through regex are executed via the Calendar API to streamline calendar updates.

User Interface

  • Flask-Powered UI: Built with Flask, the app provides a simple interface for users to enter commands, preview parsed details, and confirm event actions.
  • User-Friendly Input: Once logged in via Google, users can easily manage their events without navigating multiple screens.

Flexible Timezone Support

  • Automatic Timezone Conversion: The app supports various time zones, converting event times to Google Calendar’s ISO format to ensure accurate scheduling.

Automated Event Reminders

  • Built-In Notifications: Each new event has default reminders (email and popup) configured, helping users stay informed about upcoming engagements.

Secure Authentication

  • OAuth 2.0 Authentication: Utilizes Google’s OAuth 2.0 for secure user authentication, ensuring data privacy by restricting access solely to the user’s calendar.

Technical Details

  • Framework: Flask (Python)
  • APIs: Google Calendar API for event management
  • Authentication: OAuth 2.0 for secure Google account login
  • Parsing: Regular Expressions for command interpretation and data extraction

Future Enhancements

  • Natural Language Processing (NLP): Integrate NLP techniques for more flexible command recognition.
  • Expanded Reminder Options: Allow users to customize reminder types and intervals for each event.
  • Batch Commands: Enable users to manage multiple events through a single command input.
