This video demonstrates how Cheesy Hire uses Google Calendar API scopes to enable interview scheduling functionality in our hiring management platform.
Scopes demonstrated:
userinfo.email – Used to identify the authenticated user and associate their Google Calendar with the correct account in Cheesy Hire.
calendar.events – Used to create, update, and delete interview calendar events, including automatic Google Meet link generation.
What the video shows:
OAuth consent flow requesting only the required scopes
Connecting a user’s Google Calendar from Settings → Integrations
Creating an interview and automatically generating a calendar event with a Google Meet link
Rescheduling an interview (updating the calendar event)
Cancelling an interview (deleting the calendar event)
Secure token storage, minimal data retention, and user-controlled disconnect option
These scopes are essential for Cheesy Hire’s core functionality: scheduling and managing candidate interviews directly through Google Calendar while ensuring user privacy and data security.
