Notes
- Any one of the fields
end,duration, orallDayis required. - The allowed units in
durationare listed here: https://day.js.org/docs/en/durations/creating#list-of-all-available-units. - The
urlfield defaults todocument.URLif a globaldocumentobject exists. For server-side rendering, you should supply theurlmanually. Not all calendars support theguestsandurlfields. - If you don't pass the start and end time in UTC, Google will convert it to UTC but Outlook won't, so it's a good idea to use UTC when passing dates and times
