When CompanyCam and Google Calendar operate independently, project managers often face the challenge of missing critical photo documentation linked to scheduled events. For instance, if a team member captures photos of a job site but forgets to manually enter the corresponding event in Google Calendar, those images remain unassociated with the project timeline. This oversight forces project managers to waste hours cross-referencing photos with calendar entries, leading to frustration and potential miscommunication among teams about project status.

Top Ways to Automate CompanyCam & Google Calendar

  • Automated Photo Uploads: Instantly sync photos taken in CompanyCam to corresponding Google Calendar events, ensuring that all documentation is readily accessible and organized by date and project.
  • Real-Time Notifications: Receive automated reminders in Google Calendar for upcoming site visits, including links to relevant CompanyCam projects, keeping teams informed and prepared.
  • Streamlined Reporting: Generate comprehensive reports that combine scheduled events from Google Calendar with photo documentation from CompanyCam, providing a holistic view of project progress and facilitating better decision-making.

How to Build the CompanyCam → Google Calendar Sync

  1. Set up a webhook in CompanyCam to listen for new photo uploads. Use the endpoint: POST /webhooks/photo-upload.
  2. Configure the webhook to send a payload containing the photo's metadata, including photo_id, job_id, and timestamp.
  3. In your server, create an endpoint to receive the webhook data. Extract the job_id and timestamp from the payload.
  4. Use the Google Calendar API to create a new event. Make a POST request to the endpoint: POST https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/primary/events.
  5. In the event creation payload, include the summary as the job name, start as the timestamp, and attach the photo_id in the description field for reference.

Developer Warnings & API Gotchas

  • Ensure that the job_id from CompanyCam is correctly mapped to the event's summary in Google Calendar; mismatches can lead to confusion.
  • When extracting the timestamp, confirm that it is in the correct format (RFC3339) required by Google Calendar, or the event creation will fail.
  • Be cautious of the payload size when including photo_id in the event description; Google Calendar has a character limit that could truncate important information.

Supported API Operations

We leverage official, stable endpoints to ensure secure data transfer. No deprecated legacy routes.
