Hey guys, I’m having a problem with losing authentication on Google Calendar. I also had this problem on Google Sheets, but on Google Sheets I created a service account. However, Google Calendar only has OAuth2, and it only works if I log in again. Does anyone know how to solve this problem permanently or have any alternatives to suggest?

Hey @Felipe_Ananias ,
I can understand how this can be confusing! The authentication process for Google Calendar can be tricky, especially compared to Google Sheets with a service account. Here are two solutions that might help you :-
1.Use a Refresh Token: With OAuth2, you can use a refresh token to automatically renew the access token when it expires, avoiding the need to log in again. Just store the refresh token securely and use it to refresh the access token whenever needed.
2.Use Google API Client Libraries: Google’s official client libraries handle the OAuth2 flow and automatically manage token refreshing for you. This means you won’t have to worry about token expiration or re-authentication manually.
I hope one of these solutions works for you! If not, feel free to let me know, and I’d be happy to help you further.
I didn’t quite understand, do you have any examples of how to use it?
