Describe the Bug

When importing my personal calendar from Google, it includes events for the birthdays of all my contacts. In the Google calendar, these are only shown in the separate birthdays calendar, not in my personal one.

This is undesirable, since they are available in a separate calendar and when importing your contacts to Nextcloud, it will provide its own birthday calendar.

Is this behaviour expected/intentional/desired? Or is there a very easy workaround to fix this?

If not, it could be easily fixed by providing the parameter eventTypes to the list events call (see https://developers.google.com/workspace/calendar/api/v3/reference/events/list#parameters), excluding the birthday type. To be added to the params in GoogleCalendarApiService.php getCalendarEvents.

Expected Behavior

When importing my personal calendar, it doesn't automatically include my contacts birthdays.

To Reproduce

Import the calendar from a Google account which has some birthdays/anniversaries set for some contacts.

Hi Moudilu,

I've created a pr that allows for disabling the importing of all special event types. Thank you for the feedback.

Hi @lukasdotcom , thank you so much for the PR! I looked into it, it should very much do the job for me 👍
