Wix-events-backend: createEvent() FORBIDDEN

Discussion Ask a question

Dear People with a lot more experience than me:
I’m facing an weird issue:

I try to code a backend site, where wixEvents can be created by the user.
I used the documentation below, corrected the imbedded mistakes as other users described them (country codes, time formats, etc) but facing this odd behavior:

Running the code (in Preview - so that permission issues should not be a problem) returns an error message with following indications:

message: ‘’
details: applicationError:
description: Forbidden
code: FORBIDDEN
data: {}

I am afraid it is an internal bug. Is there any workaround, or does my path simply end there…?

Thanks a lot

import { wixEvents } from “wix-events-backend” ;

const eventInfo = {
title : “Testevent” ,
location : {
name : “Testname” ,
address : {
formatted : “Hauptstrasse 12, Seeg, 87637, DE” ,
city : “Seeg” ,
subdivision : “Test” ,
country : “DE” ,
postalCode : “87637” ,
streetAddress : {
number : “12” ,
name : “Hauptstrasse” ,
apt : “10”
}
},
type : ‘VENUE’ ,
},
scheduling : {
timeZoneId : “Europe/London” ,
startDate : new Date ( “2024-09-25T12:00:00Z” ),
endDate : new Date ( “2024-09-26T12:00:00Z” )
},
registration : {
initialType : ‘RSVP’
}
};

const options = {
language : “en”
};

export function myCreateEventFunction () {
console . log ( “BACKEND: myCreateEventFunction()…” );

return wixEvents . createEvent ( eventInfo , options )
. then (( result ) => {
return result ;
})
. catch (( error ) => {
console . error ( error );
});
}

Hey,

Thanks for reaching out!

In order to use this successfully you need elevated permissions ( docs ):

import { wixEvents } from "wix-events-backend";
import * as wixAuth from "wix-auth";

const elevatedCreateEventFunction = wixAuth.elevate(wixEvents.createEvent);

const eventInfo = {
  title: "Healthy Living Series: Exercise and You",
  location: {
    name: "Community Hall",
    address: {
      formatted: "100 Gansevoort St, New York, NY 10014, USA",
      city: "New York City",
      subdivision: "New York",
      country: "US",
      postalCode: "10014",
      streetAddress: {
        number: "100",
        name: "Gansevoort Street",
        apt: "10"
      }
    },
    type: 'VENUE',
  },
  scheduling: {
    startDate: new Date("2023-09-14T13:30:00.000Z"),
    endDate: new Date("2023-09-14T15:30:00.000Z"),
    timeZoneId: "America/New_York"
  },
  registration: {
    initialType: 'RSVP'
  }
};

const options = {
  language: "en"
};

export function myCreateEventFunction() {
  return elevatedCreateEventFunction(eventInfo, options)
    .then((result) => {
      return result;
    })
    .catch((error) => {
      console.error(error);
    });
}

Hope it helps!

Regards,
Kristina
