Google Calendar Push Notification watch command in php

Question

I am using the php watch commant:

$service = new Google_Service_Calendar($client);


$channel =  new Google_Service_Calendar_Channel($client);
$channel->setId('20fdedbf0-a845-11e3-1515e2-0800200c9a6689111');
$channel->setType('web_hook');
$channel->setAddress('https://www.exampel.com/app/notification');

$watchEvent = $service->events->watch('primary', $channel);

This command works fine and I get the response:

Google_Service_Calendar_Channel Object ( [address] => [expiration] => 1401960485000 [id] => 20fdedbf0-a845-11e3-1515e2-0800200c9a6689111 [kind] => api#channel [params] => [payload] => [resourceId] => HZjSdbhwcd5KMKEA3ATA31LoR-w [resourceUri] => https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/primary/events?key=AIzaSyBl_Y7Y4eQDve-0DjwzBEP7_qOLo-67ouY&alt=json [token] => [type] => [modelData:protected] => Array ( ) [processed:protected] => Array ( ) ) 

However; In my set up url I don't get any message when something changes in my calendar. Am I missing something!?

Answer 1

I had a similar issue which was caused by authentication on my application.

Try sending a post request to https://www.exampel.com/app/notification and see if it is received. If not, double check your routing or authentication.

Answer 2

Also ensure that the endpoint is a valid https URL. Self-signed certificates are not allowed.
