Slack automate calendar events - automation

Question

I'm looking for a way to automate the creation of calendar events. I'm part of multiple spaces in my school and they keep on posting some events that are happening on a regular basis.
I was wondering is there's a way to automate these calendar events. I want to write a script with Slack api's that can read the messages from all the spaces I'm part of and scan them to see if there's any event related information and create a new calendar event in my google calendars. I want to run this at the end of the day on all the messages from all the spaces.
