ObsiCal – Markdown → Google Calendar

Turn your Obsidian notes into Google Calendar events — just type, save, and go!

---

🚀 Features

• Automatically detects lines ending with #event
• Creates events in Google Calendar with start and end times
• Marks processed lines with ✔ to prevent duplicates
• OAuth authentication for secure access
• Minimal: no buttons, commands, or clutter

⚡ Version 1.0

This is ObsiCal v1.0 — a minimal, functional version. Future updates may include:

• Configurable timezones
• Default calendar selection (not just primary)
• Custom event durations
• More flexible date/time parsing

---

📝 How to Use

Type a line like this in any Markdown file:

Team Sync 202602011000:202602011030 #event

• Title: Team Sync
• Start/End: YYYYMMDDHHmm
• Trigger: #event at the end
• After saving, the plugin creates the event and marks the line with ✔

⚙️ Settings & OAuth

Go to Settings → ObsiCal and enter:

• Client ID – Google OAuth Client ID
• Client Secret – Google OAuth Client Secret
• Redirect URI – usually http://localhost

First-time Authentication

1. After typing your first #event line and saving the file, ObsiCal will open a Google OAuth page in your browser.
2. Authorize access to your Google Calendar.
3. Google will redirect to a URL like:

http://localhost/?code=XXXXXX

4. Copy the value after code= and paste it into the ObsiCal prompt/modal in Obsidian.
5. ObsiCal will store your access & refresh tokens securely. Future events are created automatically.
