@evantravers - This is awesome. Is there a way I can figure out the data elements of the ā€˜eventā€™? For example in addition to the ā€˜startDateā€™, ā€˜notesā€™ etc, it would be really useful to pull the attendeeā€™s or those invited to the meeting.

TIA
Mike

Hi there @dmormerod!

So Iā€™m pulling the Event Object from the standard scripting library. Any property listed on the docs page is available to you.

Attendees currently isnā€™t an option, although maybe we can ask @greg-pierce if thatā€™s possible. Previously I had this as an iOS Shortcut, and the Shortcuts app has access to the invitees and attendees.

Ah, ok, Thanks. In the case yes, @greg-pierce is it possible to get at the inviteeā€™s of a meeting?

It may be possibleā€¦ I see that Scriptable has this ability in the CalendarEvent objectā€¦ you could also just write it over there in Scriptable and run it there I supposeā€¦ but I like keeping everything in Drafts.

Attendees/invitees are not accessible in Drafts scripting interfaces at this time. Extending those capabilities is definitely ā€œon-the-listā€. Not something that has gotten prioritized because there has not been any requests coming in, but will add your +1s to the request.

I am using a Shortcut for this.

The following steps:

  • get 15 events from all calendars (# of events is adjustable and which calendars also)
  • get start date, title, attendees, status Accepted/ Declined, notes of the calendar event (in my use case I put in the meeting subjects)
  • create a text template, the meeting template, to clipboard
  • create draft and past clipboard in draft note

Hi @greg-pierce! Is attendee list for the Event object still on the todo list? If so, please add my vote. Thanks!

Whatā€™s your use-case? I havenā€™t really looked much at adding because attendees are a read-only property, itā€™s not possible to set those value via Apple event APIs. Are you just interested in being able to read them?

Yes, just need to read them please. I am generating meeting minutes from a template, using the script from @evantravers linked above:
https://gist.githubusercontent.com/evantravers/34367cdfb41650b60d94ce25ca721ac1/raw/3520e11be898cc2c91d76f4b5d768f6562bba985/Drafts%20Script.js

Being able to have the meeting title, notes, start and end date, attendees, etc pre-populated from the calendar event is a hugh time-saver, especially for meetings with larger number of attendees.

Thanks for the quick reply!
