Auto move google events to specific calendar based on title

E.g. events named “sport xyz” will be auto moved to calendar “sport” and named “xyz”

To do this, I’ve used pipedream.com

Create a new workflow with

step1: trigger: New Created or Updated Event (Instant) from Google Calendar

and xhoose the calendar where you add the events

step2: code (node.js): step to add the calendar name (based on the title) and the new event name

With this code I’,m adding calendarToUse and eventNameNoTag to the context

export default defineComponent({
  async run({ steps, $ }) {

    let calendarToUse = null; // planned
    const eventName =steps.trigger.event.summary;
    if (eventName.startsWith('sport ')) {
     calendarToUse='COPY_FROM_GOOGLE_CALENDAR_EXPORT_PAGE@group.calendar.google.com'; 
    }
    if (eventName.startsWith('fun')) {
     calendarToUse='COPY_FROM_GOOGLE_CALENDAR_EXPORT_PAGE@group.calendar.google.com'; 
    }



    const eventNameNoTag=eventName
      .replace(/^(sport|fun)/,'')
      ;

    
    console.error(eventName);
    // Reference previous step data using the steps object and return data to use it in future steps
    return {...steps.trigger.event, calendarToUse, eventNameNoTag};
  },
})

step3: end if prefix not found

Simply add a condition to end if the var above is not calculated

step4: add new event to new calendar

I didn’t find a way to move to a calendar, so I’m making a copy including description. use calendarToUse as calendar ID, and eventNameNoTag as event title, then copy start date, end date and description

step5: delete original event

you can do this later if you want to test it for a while first.

Create an event delete action using the trigger.event.it (the original event created)
