Send notification on google calendar event delete

Question

I want to send notification when deleting an event :

var certificate = new X509Certificate2("myp12filepath", "notasecret", X509KeyStorageFlags.Exportable | X509KeyStorageFlags.MachineKeySet);

ServiceAccountCredential credential = new ServiceAccountCredential(
    new ServiceAccountCredential.Initializer(serviceAccountEmail)
    {
        Scopes = Scopes
    }.FromCertificate(certificate));

BaseClientService.Initializer initializer = new BaseClientService.Initializer();
initializer.HttpClientInitializer = credential;
initializer.ApplicationName = ApplicationName;
var service1 = new CalendarService(initializer);

var googleCalendarEvent = service1.Events.Delete("calendarId", "eventId").Execute();

The delete function does not accept a third parameter (indicating whether or not to send a notification) as mentioned in this link (there is no c# example)

So is there a way to send email notifications after deleting an event?

Answer 1

Create an instance of delete request and assign notification as true. See below.

var certificate = new X509Certificate2("myp12filepath", "notasecret", X509KeyStorageFlags.Exportable | X509KeyStorageFlags.MachineKeySet);

ServiceAccountCredential credential = new ServiceAccountCredential(
    new ServiceAccountCredential.Initializer(serviceAccountEmail)
    {
        Scopes = Scopes
    }.FromCertificate(certificate));

BaseClientService.Initializer initializer = new BaseClientService.Initializer();
initializer.HttpClientInitializer = credential;
initializer.ApplicationName = ApplicationName;
var service1 = new CalendarService(initializer);

EventsResource.DeleteRequest delReq = service1.Events.Delete("calendarId", "eventId");
delReq.SendNotifications = true;
var googleCalendarEvent = delReq.Execute();

AFAIK, you need to set sendNotifications to true if you want to send notifications about the deletion of the event as also mentioned in your given link . And in addition to that, for a user to receive notifications, user's notification setting should also be checked for each of the calendars as mentioned in this forum and also as given here .

Listed below are the steps to turn notification on or off:

You can choose whether to have notifications for events, and whether you want to get notifications over email or in your browser.

1. Open Google Calendar on your computer.
2. In the top right, click Settings (gear icon) > Settings .
3. At the top of the page, click the Calendars tab.
4. Next to your calendar's name, click Edit notifications .
5. Click Add notification or edit an existing notification.
6. At the bottom of the page, click Save .

Note : To get notifications on your computer, you need to have Google Calendar open in your browser.

Lastly, since there is not much sample for C#, the .NET client might help.
