Creating a Google Calendar ID for a website typically involves setting up a Google Calendar and obtaining its ID to integrate it into your website. Here's a step-by-step tutorial on how to do it:
Sign in to Google:
Go to https://www.google.com/ and sign in with your Google account. If you don't have one, you'll need to create one.
Access Google Calendar:
Once signed in, navigate to Google Calendar by clicking on the "Apps" icon (usually represented by nine dots) in the top-right corner of the Google homepage, then select "Calendar".
Create a New Calendar:
In Google Calendar, find the "My calendars" section on the left sidebar.
Click on the "+" icon next to "Other calendars" and select "Create new calendar".
Fill in the required information for your new calendar, such as the calendar name, description, time zone, etc.
Click on "Create calendar" to create your new calendar.
Get the Calendar ID:
After creating the calendar, you'll be redirected to its settings page.
Scroll down to the "Integrate calendar" section.
You'll find the Calendar ID listed there. It usually looks like an email address and ends with "@group.calendar.google.com".
Copy the Calendar ID.
Integrate the Calendar ID into Your Website:
Depending on how you want to integrate the calendar into your website, you may use various methods such as embedding the calendar using HTML, using Google Calendar API, or using a plugin if you're using a content management system like WordPress.
If you're embedding the calendar using HTML, you can use the Google Calendar Embed Helper (https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embedhelper/) to generate the embed code. Paste the Calendar ID where required in the embed code.
If you're using the Google Calendar API, you'll need to authenticate and make API calls using the Calendar ID to fetch and display events programmatically on your website.
Test Your Implementation:
Once you've integrated the Calendar ID into your platform (Settings -> General section), test it to ensure it's displaying the calendar and events correctly.
That's it! You've successfully created a new Google Calendar ID and integrated it into your platform.
