How to add a Google Meet link to a new Google Calendar Event using a Google Apps Script?

Question

I'm referencing https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/application-development/hangouts-meet-now-available-in-google and https://developers.google.com/calendar/v3/reference/events , but can't seem to figure out how to add the Google Meet link to the Google Calendar event programmatically. Here is my Google Apps Script code:

 /** * Creates an event in the user's default calendar. */ function createEvent() { var calendarId = 'primary'; var start = getRelativeDate(1, 12); var end = getRelativeDate(1, 13); var event = { summary: 'Test Event', description: 'Test.', start: { dateTime: start.toISOString() }, end: { dateTime: end.toISOString() }, attendees: [ {email: 'XXXXXX@XXXX.XXX'}, ], conferenceData: {createRequest: {conferenceSolutionKey: {type: 'hangoutsMeet'}}} }; event = Calendar.Events.insert(event, calendarId, {sendNotifications: true, conferenceDataVersion: 1} ); Logger.log('Event ID: ' + event.id); } /** * Helper function to get a new Date object relative to the current date. * @param {number} daysOffset The number of days in the future for the new date. * @param {number} hour The hour of the day for the new date, in the time zone * of the script. * @return {Date} The new date. */ function getRelativeDate(daysOffset, hour) { var date = new Date(); date.setDate(date.getDate() + daysOffset); date.setHours(hour); date.setMinutes(0); date.setSeconds(0); date.setMilliseconds(0); return date; }

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I've been successfully using this code to create an event and return the Meet link using text variables 'summary', 'id'; and date variables 'start' and 'end':

var event = {
  "summary": summary,
 "start": {
   "dateTime": start.toISOString()
     },
  "end": {
    "dateTime": end.toISOString()
      },
       "conferenceData": {
          "createRequest": {
           "conferenceSolutionKey": {
             "type": "hangoutsMeet"
         },   
           "requestId": id
          }
     }
  };

 event = Calendar.Events.insert(event, 'primary', {
   "conferenceDataVersion": 1});
 return event.hangoutLink;
