Connects to an external calendar by directly providing the external calendar account credentials.

Once a connection is successfully created, use listEvents() to obtain an up-to-date list of events in the connected external calendars.

Note: Use listProviders() to find out whether to connect to a particular provider using this method or connectByOAuth().

Authentication
  • When developing websites or building an app with Blocks, this method may require elevated permissions, depending on the identity of the user calling it and the calling user’s permissions.
  • When building apps without Blocks or for headless projects, you can only call this method directly when authenticated as a Wix app or Wix user identity. When authenticated as a different identity, you can call this method using elevation.
  • Elevation permits users to call methods they typically cannot access. Therefore, you should only use it intentionally and securely.
