Troubleshooting an issue can be difficult when you don’t have helpful information to go by. A Google Calendar event id is a unique identifier for an event and can help when troubleshooting Google Calendar issues. However, it’s not something that displays normally. Let’s learn how to get the Google Calendar Troubleshooting Info menu option to appear!

Event Debugging

When you visit Google Calendar in a web browser, the url will look something like below.

https://calendar.google.com/calendar/r

Let’s add a special url argument that enables event debugging. By adding the eventdeb=1 argument to the url and hitting enter to reload the page, the Troubleshooting info menu option will now be available.

https://calendar.google.com/calendar/r?eventdeb=1

Troubleshooting Info

1. Select any event on the calendar.
2. Select the Options menu.
3. Select Troubleshooting info.

Event{ eid=73fn1srp11s663vvsvodaksvb3, ...

The eid property provides the event id value for the event you selected. In the above example, the event id would be 73fn1srp11s663vvsvodaksvb3. This can be a helpful piece of information when troubleshooting Google Calendar issues, especially when working with Google Calendar APIs.
