Some Google Apps Calendar, having fun with your users!

-

Several of my users have been reporting issues with their calendar entries and room bookings missing mysteriously, here is a neat and simple trick to see the deleted events or all events that are suppose to be there 

 https://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/email@domain.com/private/full?start-min=2014-01-23T00:00:00&start-max=2014-01-24T23:59:59&prettyprint=true&showdeleted=true&showhidden=true

 just replacing the above three creates a RESTful request which helps us to get an atom feed with *all* the events in the calendar, showdeleted and showhidden parameters are set to true. 

 email@domain.com ==> is the email id or the calendar id of a resource
and the start and end date. 









Crash course on REST from stackoverflow

A website's RESTful is queried to find out information on a user, specified by a numerical ID.
Request Type: GET
http://www.api.website.com/users/12345
Returns, in a format for this example:

{"username" : "theuser",
 "userid"   :  12345,
 "first"    : "George",
 "last"     : "Washington"}

Error: SMTPIN_ADDED_BROKEN@mx.google.com

-
Some times we see the below in the email header information. SMTPIN_ADDED_BROKEN@mx.google.com The cause of the "...SMTPIN_ADDED_BROKEN@mx.google.com" is because of the 'https://' in the original Message-ID, which is not allowed. There could be some dodo systems which might be doing this and they would need to be tweaked to now allow message-id (see my earlier posts on what it means) and to have https!
