T
Calendar name
Url
Feed URL of the calendar which allows posts
E

D
Date of the event
U

#createEvent action atom will allow user to create events in a Google Calendar that they have authorization to manage events.

Example: 

#createEvent["team1", "http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/02ngn7n8s87fi6oojbn06sre4g
@group.calendar.google.com/private/full", " Group Meeting", "'2010-04-04T17:00:00Z'", 
"acthex@gmail.com", "secretpassword"]{b,1}.

This fact will create a event called "Meeting" at "'2010-04-04T17:00:00Z'" in the Google calendar named "team1" with "http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/02ngn7n8s87fi6oojbn06sre4g@group.calendar.google.com/private/full" feed URL.
