Add contacts to “where” field in Google Calendar entry

Question

Say I have an event that takes place at one of my contact's, I'd like to add this contact to the "where" field of the event, so that e.g. Google Maps can display the appropriate address. Is this possible?

Note: The contact doesn't use Google apps at all, so adding him/her as a participant of the meeting is not an option.

Answer 1

See the ContactsApp and the CalendarApp from Google Apps Script.

1. CalendarApp
2. ContactsApp

Create new Event, Retrieve Contact (getContactsByName), Retrieve address, setLocation

EDIT: wrote a small snippet that does the trick:

function CalendarEvents() {
  // create application
  var app = UiApp.createApplication();

  // get contact 
  var contactByMail = ContactsApp.getContactsByEmailAddress('an e-mail');

  // get location
  var location = contactByMail[0].getAddresses()[0].getAddress();

  // set date
  var date = new Date("November 22, 2012");

  // fetch calendar
  var cal = CalendarApp.getCalendarById('your e-mail')
    .createAllDayEvent("test", date, {location:location});

  //return to application  
  return app; 
}
