Automatically create a Google Calendar event when I publish a blog post

I would like to configure my site so that, whenever I create a new blog post in a certain category, an event is automatically created in one of my Google calendars. I would also like to set a parameter on the post that controls when the calendar event is scheduled for.

Most of the plugins I've found let me display a Google calendar in my site. Instead of that, I want to create Google Calendar events in response to my Wordpress posts, so that my activity on Wordpress controls what appears on my calendar, not visa-versa.

Is there a way for me to do this?

A simple way to achieve this would be through IFFT connection between Wordpress & Google Calender. It's already done there for you, and there is a tutorial specifically for it. On the downside, you will need to create an IFFT account, and the connection happens outside your server (i.e. you are dependent).

PS: IFFT / tutorial might be incompatible with your custom criteria, for that you will have to dig deeper. :/
