Using Contour 3 to Pass Event Data to Google Calendar API 3.0
System: Umbraco Version - 4.7.1 ,Windows Server 2008 – 8gb memory – 4 Zeon 2.27Ghz processors service pack 1 – 64 bit OS , IIS version 7.5.7600.16385, SQL Server 2008 R2, Stacktrace - N/A
We're planning to use the Google Calendar API (version 3) to add events to a Google calendar embedded on our website. We'd like to create a front-end to add an event. The data entered would then be passed to the Google API when the form is submitted. Is this possible to do?

Hi Richard,
Of course you can attach extra functionality to your forms by using workflows.
http://our.umbraco.org/projects/umbraco-pro/contour/documentation/Editor/Attaching-Workflows/
You might be able to use the out of the box Post form to url type and use google api's rest interface
If that doesn't work you'll need to code a custom workflow type using the google api client library for .net https://developers.google.com/google-apps/calendar/downloads
Details on how to create a custom workflow type can be found here
