Interoperating with Google Calendar

[viSci]

I had this brainy idea the other day to help a customer create an event scheduler by using google calendar to manage the events.  I could setup the events to send notifications (email or SMS?) to my app which would then decode a command embedded in the event description field.  The other possibility would be use the google calendar web services to poll for upcoming events.  Notifiction by email at first sounds good but then I still have to essentially poll an email server. 

 

Anybody ever tried to do something like this before?

I tried to help someone on the dark side to send calendar VTODO emails to remind an operator to perform some action on a later date (preventative maintenance or calibration, something like that).
