refresh from google calendar before showing agenda

refresh from google calendar before showing agenda

[Gyro Funch]

Hi,

I set up org-gcal to download my google calendar to an org file and
would like to do an automatic org-gcal-fetch before displaying an
org agenda view.

Unfortunately, I am a newbie with elisp, so am not sure of the best
way to accomplish this?

I would appreciate any help or suggestions on code I can use to make
this happen.

Thank you.

You could possibly *advice* the agenda dispatch command.  See "Advising
Named Functions" in the Elisp info manual.

Thank you for the advice. It was very helpful.

Though perhaps not optimal, the following seems to work:

(advice-add 'org-agenda :before #'org-gcal-fetch)
