Quick Script: Google Calendar Events Editing from IFTTT

Jan 30, 2018

As many “nerds”, I’ve gotten really into the quantified self movement. If-this-then-that is a great resource for that, letting you script interactions between different services (that don’t necessarily play nicely on their own: e.g. Amazon and Google, or Apple and anything). Unfortunately, I’m picky about my data, so I want to be able to change the time structure or name of these events. Particularly, I track my work hours and my sleep, and the event timing for these was 15 minutes coming straight from IFTTT. So, below I’ve written a couple scripts that I can run every week or so to clean everything up and have it display nicely. I hope these help somebody.
