Returns the user's primary Google Calendar.
class CalendarApp method .getDefaultCalendar()
CalendarApp is the Apps Script service.
.getDefaultCalendar() is the method name you will see after a dot in your code.
What it does
Why it's used
- Add events to the user's main calendar without extra setup.
- Most scheduling scripts start here.
Common errors
- Forgetting parentheses on getDefaultCalendar. Write CalendarApp.getDefaultCalendar(), not CalendarApp.getDefaultCalendar or getDefaultCalendar by itself.
- Skipping dots between chained calls. Each step needs a dot, like CalendarApp.getDefaultCalendar().
- Adding spaces where they do not belong. Write CalendarApp.getDefaultCalendar(), not CalendarApp .getDefaultCalendar(), CalendarApp.getDefaultCalendar (), or CalendarApp . getDefaultCalendar().
- Wrong capitalization. Use CalendarApp and getDefaultCalendar, not calendarapp or getdefaultcalendar.
