This will assist you in identifying conflicting events within a specified date range in your Google
Calendar. Moreover, it sends a detailed email report of these conflicts to a specified recipient.

Instruction:

Setting Up the Script

1. Create a New Google Apps Script:

a. Navigate to Google Drive.
b. Click on “New” > “More” > “Google Apps Script.”
c. Delete any pre-existing code and paste the provided script into the code editor.
2. Authorize the Script:
a. Click on the disk icon or navigate to "File" > "Save" and name your project.
b. Click on the run (play) icon in the toolbar, and select the main function to
execute.
c. If it's your first time running the script, you will be prompted to review
permissions. Click on "Review Permissions," choose your account, and click
"Allow."

Using the Script

1. Specify Parameters:
a. Within the main function, set the recipientEmail to the email address that will
receive the conflict report.
b. Specify startDateStr and endDateStr for the date range you want to check for
conflicts. Ensure dates are in MM/DD/YYYY format.

function main() {
var recipientEmail = "recipient@example.com";
var startDateStr = "10/09/2023"; //
var endDateStr = "10/15/2023"; //

checkForConflictsAndSendEmail(recipientEmail, startDateStr, endDateStr);

}
