How can I create add-on for google calendar? Is it possible?

I want to create add-on (like Google Keep or Google Tasks on right sidebar) for google calendar to analyze user calendar events and display some info about them.

Is it possible? Can I use https://script.google.com for that?

Thanks!

There is no calendar add-on as such - e.g. no pre-built sidebar, but

  • Google Apps Script offers you the CalendarApp and Advanced Calendar Service (implementing the full Calendar Api into Apps Script) which allow you to analyze user events.
  • You can use an installable "From calendar" trigger.
  • You can deploy your Apps Script as a Web App, which allows you to bind a HTML file and include JS into your code
  • Your script would analyze and process calendar events, and update the html file with desired contents.
  • You can visualize your Web App in a browser window, with the functionality that the script runs on trigger (every time that the Calendar gets updated)

Alternatively, consider installing some of the Addons available at G Suite Market.
