Create Google Calendar entry with Jira Automation

[Peter Fuchs]

Based on certain events (e.g. releases) I would like add events in a Google calendar. We already connect to Google Chat using the webhook automation functionality, however, creating calendar entries seems to require some more sophisticated solution.

Did someone achieve this with the current automation implementation or may this be worth a new Action?

Hi! 

Did you that doc

https://developers.google.com/calendar/v3/push ? 

And then did you decided to customize the mapping?

[Peter Fuchs]

Thanks for your reply. If I read the linked article correctly, this describes sending our events _from_ the Google Calendar to an external resource. However, I would like to work the other way around: Create a Google Calendar entry on certain events within Jira (e.g. upon issue closed).

Does this make sense?

Thank you for your clarification:

So looks like I see the way custom post-function.

Thanks again for your solution proposal.

Yes, that may do the trick. As you are pointing to the "old" workflow module, I expect there is currently no option to realize this using Jira Automation. So we may give it a try using the post workflow function.
