event_syncer's Issues

Replace insert() with update() when adding google calendar events

We may have multiple events at the same time. Not every event is new one. update() may be a better method to use.

The event APIs list is in
https://developers.google.com/resources/api-libraries/documentation/calendar/v3/python/latest/calendar_v3.events.html

Connect slack API

We can push event notification to slack, too. By the way, we need some place to backup slack information.

Get facebook token from Oauth

The life of token from graph API explorer is too short. Figure out a way to get Oauth token.
