Google Calendar Integration in Durham
Integrating Google Calendar into Durham applications, where recurring events are considerably harder than they look. A weekly meeting is one record with a rule, individual occurrences can be modified or cancelled independently, and an integration treating each instance as a separate event will duplicate the series or lose the exceptions.
Why this comes up
The problem
A recurring booking was cancelled for one week only, and the integration deleted the entire series.
What you get
What we deliver
- Recurring events handled as a series with exceptions rather than as instances
- Single-occurrence changes applied to that occurrence rather than the rule
- Time zones handled explicitly, including events that cross a daylight change
- Availability checked against real free/busy data rather than assumed
- Sync tokens used so only changes are fetched rather than the whole calendar
- Cancellations and declines reflected, since these arrive after the invitation

Working in Durham
North East
Durham's economy is dominated by its university and cathedral, so the commercial base is small and much of the local demand comes from spinouts and suppliers attached to the institutions rather than from independent industry.
Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones.

Google Calendar Integration in Durham — common questions
- Why are recurring events difficult?
- Because a series and its occurrences are different things. Cancelling one week is an exception on the series, not a deletion — and an integration that does not distinguish them will either remove everything or leave orphaned instances the calendar no longer recognises.
- What goes wrong with time zones?
- Events that cross a daylight saving change. A recurring 9am appointment stays at 9am local time, which means the absolute time shifts — so an integration storing everything in a single zone without the original will show the wrong hour twice a year.
- How should availability be determined?
- From free/busy data rather than from your own records. A person's calendar contains commitments your system knows nothing about, so booking against your own view of their availability produces double-bookings that the calendar could have prevented.
- Why use sync tokens?
- Because refetching a whole calendar repeatedly is wasteful and slow. A sync token returns only what changed since last time, which keeps request volume proportionate to activity rather than to the size of the calendar being watched.
- Do you work with businesses across County Durham?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North East, including Durham and the surrounding County Durham area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Durham businesses do you usually work with?
- Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Tourism & Heritage, Public Sector, Retail and Research.
- Do you cover the areas around Durham?
- Yes — we work throughout North East, including Newcastle, Sunderland, York. Durham is an urban area of roughly 70,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Durham region rather than the city boundary alone.
