Calendar application with Twitter connector

First post, hopefully I am asking in a comprehensible manner.

I have been asked to build a calendar application which will source the company's Twitter posts, which is using the Calendar template screen. I hope to eventually be able to apply this to LinkedIn posts.

In the template, the dropdown ComboBox uses a this function to source the user's Office365 calendar events:

ClearCollect( MyCalendarEvents, 'Office365'.GetEventsCalendarViewV2( _myCalendar.Name, Text( _minDate, UTC ), Text( _maxDate, UTC ) ).value );

The GetCalendarEvents function allows for a calendar and a range of dates to be picked. How can I adapt this line of code to choose Tweets instead of Office365 events?

If there's any more details I can provide please let me know.

I haven't used Twitter in any of my apps, however, this page from the MS docs may help?

Hi @Anonymous

I've used the documentation and found Twitter.HomeTimeline().CreatedAtIso - to access the time the Tweet was posted.

The issue at hand is how to reference that into the calendar provided by the template.

Thanks

As I mentioned, I don't have any experience with using Twitter in PAs. If I was wanting to unpack this I'd add a gallery to a blank screen and set the Items toMyCalendarEvents to see what gets built in this collection ... or ... View --> Collections to do the same thing.

Then do the same for the Twitter function you mention. I'd then try to marry up the two outputs to create that collection using the same data types.

If you have a go at this and still can't get it working, post some code and I can have a look at it to see I found I can help.
