API to Retrieve Meetings for a Specific Conference Room

Hello Front Community,

We have multiple conference rooms in our office, but currently, we don’t have any UI that shows whether a room is occupied or free.

When creating a calendar invite in Front, we can add a meeting room. I’m planning to build a simple app that displays all meetings for a particular meeting room for the week.

I was wondering if there is an API that allows me to retrieve the list of all meetings for a specific meeting room.

Any guidance or examples would be greatly appreciated!

Hi ​@phoenix! 
 

Thanks for posting this question! That sounds like a great project for office visibility.

The short answer regarding the Front API: Currently, the Front API does not have endpoints that allow you to retrieve, create, or update calendar events or resource bookings. I have gone ahead and added your vote to our internal feature request for Calendar API access to help prioritize this for the future.

The recommended workaround: Since Front's calendar feature is essentially a sync with your underlying email provider (Google Workspace or Office 365), the data for those meeting rooms should live in that provider's backend.

To build your room display app, you should be able to bypass Front and query your provider directly:

  • If you use Google Workspace: You may want to try using the Google Calendar API to list events for specific "Resources" (meeting rooms).

  • If you use Office 365: You may want to try using the Microsoft Graph API to get the calendar view for the room's mailbox.

I hope this helps point you in the right direction for your build!
