Avoid creating duplicate events by respecting the UID field#712
Conversation
For events that contain a UID field, use Google Calendar's event "import" feature instead of "insert" to avoid creating duplicates. Note that events with UID populated may still get processed as new/updated events if the SEQUENCE number is also incremented (https://www.kanzaki.com/docs/ical/sequence.html).

Alright, I figured I may not get feedback on the quality of this until after it's released, so I took another look through the changes with a paranoid eye, caught and fixed a couple issues, and added an opt-out flag With that I'm going to go ahead and merge this in a bit if nobody objects. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
FYI in my testing the API didn't seem to respect the "sequence" number and still considered the events duplicates.
And another confusing corner case: seems like deleted events can still be considered "duplicates" and skipped.
Those could both be helped if we added more explicit detection and prompted users for how to resolve weird cases.
