Adds an all-day event to a calendar.
class CalendarApp method .createAllDayEvent()
CalendarApp is the Apps Script service.
.createAllDayEvent() is the method name you will see after a dot in your code.
What it does
Why it's used
- Mark holidays, deadlines, or PTO without start and end times.
- Drop launch dates onto a shared planning calendar.
Common errors
- Forgetting parentheses on createAllDayEvent. Write CalendarApp.createAllDayEvent(), not CalendarApp.createAllDayEvent or createAllDayEvent by itself.
- Skipping dots between chained calls. Each step needs a dot, like CalendarApp.createAllDayEvent().
- Adding spaces where they do not belong. Write CalendarApp.createAllDayEvent(), not CalendarApp .createAllDayEvent(), CalendarApp.createAllDayEvent (), or CalendarApp . createAllDayEvent().
- Wrong capitalization. Use CalendarApp and createAllDayEvent, not calendarapp or createalldayevent.
