Regarding GC Reminder Notifications Not Working

Question

I have integrated my PHP application with Google Calendar using my service account.

The event creation through my application is working successfully.

I am trying to override the events reminder settings through the override method as follows.

 $event = new \Google_Service_Calendar_Event(array(
                'summary' => 'My App Appointment Reminders2',              
                'description' => 'My App Reminders',
                'start' => array(
                'dateTime' => $start['dateTime'],
                'timeZone' => $zone,
                ),
                'end' => array(
                'dateTime' => $end['dateTime'],
                'timeZone' => $zone,
                ),
                'attendees' => array(
                array('email' => '[email protected]'),
                )
                ,
                'reminders' => array(
                'useDefault' => false
                 ,
                  'overrides' => array(
                  array('method' => 'email', 'minutes' => 15),
                  array('method' => 'popup', 'minutes' => 15),
                  ),
            ),
            ));

I have also used the string instead of boolean for Usedefault. Still it is not working

Please help me to resolve this. Thanks in advance...

This issue has been reported on Google's Public Issue Tracker and is under investigation

The issue is related to using a service account when performing requests with the Calendar API. In the meantime, as a workaround:

• Do NOT use a service account without impersonation
• Instead, enable domain-wide delegeation and let the service account impersonate a domain user who has editor access to the calendar
• In PHP you can perform impersonation with $client->setSubject('user to impersonate');
• See here for samples
