Bulk schedule employee training sessions across the domain
Automate the creation and assignment of training events to large groups using a delegated service account and the Calendar API.

The problem
Manually scheduling training for hundreds or thousands is error-prone and time-consuming. Overlapping sessions, missed invites, and inconsistent event details are common when handled by hand or with basic scripts.
How it works
- Prepare a structured list of users and required session details.
- Use a delegated service account to create events on users' primary calendars via the Calendar API.
- Batch event creation to avoid API quota limits and throttle requests.
- Track which events were successfully created and handle conflicts or failures explicitly.
What changes
All required employees receive properly-timed calendar invites with consistent details, and HR can audit which sessions have been scheduled.
Questions people ask
Can I schedule for users outside the domain?
You can add external attendees, but delivery and RSVP tracking may be inconsistent depending on their mail provider.
How do I avoid double-booking?
Check each user's calendar for conflicts before assigning a session, but be aware this adds significant API calls and may require rate limiting.
Want this built?
This is a pattern we run in production. We will set up the delegation and build this on top of it — $500 per hour, most of it working the same day.
