Installation

Instructions

You can open the sidebar of OneScript in Google Calendar, currently we only have one feature in Calendar, so the Easy Repeat will be opened by default for you.

You can fill the form and create a series of events with the title indexed like “Event [1/10]”, … to “Event [10/10]”.

Title: the title of the events, special placeholder {{index}} and {{total}} can be used to create a unique title for each event in the series
Description: the description of the events, special placeholder {{index}} and {{total}} can be used like the title
Guests: a comma separated emails
Location: the location of the events, special placeholder {{index}} and {{total}} can be used like the title
Start Date: the date of the 1st event
Start Time: the time of the 1st event
Duration: event duration in minutes
Repeats: the repeat times of the event in the series
Is Special Interval: Yes or No
Special Interval: Even Days or Odd Days
Interval: the days between each event in the series
Calendar: where the events should be created

Tips:

For the interval, the unit is day, however, if you need to create events that repeat less than 1 day. You can use a decimal number to create them. For example, if the event repeats every 12 hours, you can enter value 0.5 for the interval days. Another example, you can use 1/24 (day) for 1 hour as the interval.
For the special interval, you can create events on days like 1, 3, 5, … or 2, 4, 6, …
