Google Apps Calendar Event Create Version 2

This handler uses the Google API library to create a new Event and then inserts it into your calendar. The handler needs a refresh token and the cooresponding client id and client secret to authenticate the calendar insert request (information on how to retrieve can be found below). The parameters for the event are slightly modified so that they work within Google's API and then the new event is posted to the calendar of your choice. Any errors that occur during the posting process will be caught and re-raised by this handler. * In order to use this handler, the account specified by the task info values needs to enable Calendar API in admin account. #### How to retrieve the Client Id, Client Secret, and Refresh Token To enable the Calendar API and get Client Id and Client Secret: 1.
