I am trying to make a simple birthday app for Google chat.
The logic is pretty simple:
- Create a list of all employees from an xls file
- Create another list for employees with upcoming birthdays (in the next 20 days)
- For each employee with an upcoming birthday, create another list with all of the other employees and assign a random person to collect money and gift ideas
That’s what I’ve done so far, if you want more details I can share the repo. The difficult part is the next one:
- For each employee with an upcoming birthday, create a Google Chat space with all other people from the team and display something like “Employee X has a birthday on dd-mm, employee Y is responsible for the organization”.
- Delete the space after X’s birthday has passed.
Now, I did create a Google Cloud account, enabled APIS, get credentials (I have a JSON file and an API key), but I really don’t know where to go from here. I did a lot of reading in the Google documentation, but I’m really lost, I would appreciate a more dummy-friendly step by step guidance.
I wrote the Python logic, but I cannot implement the API part.
Thank you in advance!
