Description

Gcalendar is a Partner App developed by Wecom to integrate Google Calendar events with the Innovaphone presence system.

The app operates through two components:

• Users App – Where the users initiate their account linking process via Google login.
• Admin App – Allows configuration of the integration with editable fields for Google Client ID and Client Secret, along with a dedicated OAuth authorization URL.

This setup enables real-time status synchronization and supports four languages: Portuguese, English, Spanish, and German.

Functions

This section provides an overview of each core part of the Gcalendar application. It highlights what actions can be performed, and how to navigate through the available features. Additionally, this section provides step-by-step explanations for each functionality.

Users App

The Users App is the interface used by users to link their Google Calendar account to the Innovaphone presence system. It focuses only on enabling the connection between the user and their calendar through Google authentication.

Connecting with Google account

1. Open the Gcalendar Users App.
2. Click the Connect button.
3. A Google login popup will appear.
   • This popup allows users to choose or log into a Google account.
4. After selecting an account, the integration process will begin automatically.
   • Once completed, the account will be linked to the Innovaphone system.

⇒ Note: Before starting the connection process, ensure you're already logged into the correct Google account in your browser. This helps avoid selecting the wrong account and ensures the integration is completed with the intended calendar.

Disconnecting from Google account

1. Open the Gcalendar Users App.
2. If a Google account is already connected, the Connect button will be replaced by a Disconnect button.
3. Click the Disconnect button to unlink your current Google Calendar account from the Innovaphone presence system.
4. Once disconnected, presence synchronization will be disabled for that user.

Admin App

The Admin App provides configuration options required to authorize and manage the Google integration. It is intended for system administrators and enables control over OAuth credentials used for user authentication.

Updating Google OAuth Credentials

To enable or update the integration between Gcalendar and Google Calendar, you’ll need to provide the correct Client ID and Client Secret obtained from your Google Cloud project.

1. Open the Gcalendar Admin App.
2. Locate the fields labeled Google Client ID and Client Secret.
3. Paste the values copied from your Google OAuth Credentials into the respective fields.
4. Click the Update button next to each field to save the changes.

⇒ Notes:

• Ensure both values are correctly copied and properly formatted.
• Incorrect credentials will prevent users from authenticating.
• The Client Secret is sensitive—never share or expose it publicly.
