Google Calendar API - invitation email not sent to attendees when creating an event
I want to add event to google calendar using google api. But after the event is created, the invitation email is not sent to the attendee email address. Here is my code:
<?php
require_once '../../src/Google_Client.php';
require_once '../../src/contrib/Google_CalendarService.php';
session_start();
$client = new Google_Client();
$client->setApplicationName("Google Calendar PHP Starter Application");
// Visit https://code.google.com/apis/console?api=calendar to generate your
// client id, client secret, and to register your redirect uri.
$client->setClientId('309388785502.apps.googleusercontent.com');
$client->setClientSecret('hvJQUDYz4rY0HiYcgS46yxB-');
$client->setRedirectUri('http://localhost/GoogleApi/google-api-php-client/examples/calendar/simple.php');
$client->setDeveloperKey('AIzaSyAbBRxRKM9mkXKA17Bruul6lCq-vhR6gqc');
$cal = new Google_CalendarService($client);
if (isset($_GET['logout'])) {
unset($_SESSION['token']);
}
if (isset($_GET['code'])) {
$client->authenticate($_GET['code']);
$_SESSION['token'] = $client->getAccessToken();
header('Location: http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
}
if (isset($_SESSION['token'])) {
$client->setAccessToken($_SESSION['token']);
}
if ($client->getAccessToken()) {
$event = new Google_Event();
$event->setSummary('Halloween3');
$event->setLocation('The Neighbourhood');
$start = new Google_EventDateTime();
$start->setDate('2013-10-3');
$event->setStart($start);
$end = new Google_EventDateTime();
$end->setDate('2013-10-3');
$event->setEnd($end);
$event->sendNotifications=true;
$event->maxAttendees=2;
$attendee1 = new Google_EventAttendee();
$attendee2 = new Google_EventAttendee();
$attendee1->setEmail("cuong***.ictu@gmail.com");
$attendee2->setEmail("webtr***@gmail.com");
$attendees = array($attendee1,$attendee2);
$event->attendees = $attendees;
$createdEvent = $cal->events->insert('primary', $event);
$_SESSION['token'] = $client->getAccessToken();
} else {
$authUrl = $client->createAuthUrl();
print "<a class='login' href='$authUrl'>Connect Me!</a>";
}
?>
So my question is, how can I send an email to the attendee list after an event generated from the API? Thank.

the insert method has an optional parameter:
/**
* Creates an event. (events.insert)
*
* @param string $calendarId Calendar identifier.
* @param Google_Event $postBody
* @param array $optParams Optional parameters.
*
* @opt_param int maxAttendees The maximum number of attendees to include in the response. If there are more than the specified number of attendees, only the participant is returned. Optional.
* @opt_param bool sendNotifications Whether to send notifications about the creation of the new event. Optional. The default is False.
* @return Google_Event
*/
So, I solve like this:
[... ]$event->attendees = $attendees;
$optionaArguments = array("sendNotifications"=>true);
$createdEvent = $cal->events->insert($idCalendario, $event, $optionaArguments);
[...]
Participants now receive an email with an .ics file just like a normal Google Calendar invite
