Google Apps Script: Setting color of an event using Calendar API -

i set specific colours events. believe have use calendar api. cannot figure out how this.

the code trying is:

var event = calendarapp.getownedcalendarbyid(calendarid).createevent(class, starttime, endtime, {description:lessonplandatacomplete [t], colorid: 11});

the colorid 11 should set red events coming out default colour.

any helps/hints gratefully received, many thanks, simon

it possible using advanced calendar service.

(this post helpful)

the code create new event goes : (inspired google's example)

function createevent() {   var calendarid = 'primary';   var event = {     summary: 'other test',     location: 'right here',     description:' chat... ;-)',     start: {       datetime: new date().toisostring()     },     end: {       datetime: new date(new date().gettime()+3600000).toisostring()     },     attendees: [       {email: 'user@gmail.com'}     ],     // red background. use calendar.colors.get() full list.     colorid: 11   };   event = calendar.events.insert(event, calendarid);   logger.log('event id: ' + event.getid()); } 

and modify existing event (having id) goes :

function changeeventcolor(){   var calendarid = 'primary';   var eventid = 'omv°°°°°°°°°°8jbs'   var event = calendar.events.get(calendarid, eventid)   logger.log('current color = '+event.colorid)   event.colorid = 11   calendar.events.patch(event,calendarid,eventid);   logger.log('new color = '+event.colorid) }
