Stop the back-and-forth via email when you\u2019re trying to schedule a Google Calendar event. You can create a Google Calendar event right in Gmail. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create an Event From an Email\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You have two simple ways to create a Google Calendar event from an email in Gmail. One method is ideal for when you\u2019re composing a new message, while the second works well if you\u2019re replying, forwarding, or composing a new email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create an Event From a Received Message\n<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When you receive an email that prompts an event, you can set one up in Google Calendar in just a few steps.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Select the email in your inbox or open it in a new window.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Use the three vertical dots<\/span> in the toolbar at the top to pick Create event<\/span>.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
    \n
    \"Create<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
      \n
    1. When Google Calendar opens in a new tab, you\u2019ll see the subject line of the email as the event title, the description as the message body, and the sender as a guest. You can edit the title, add more guests, and then complete the other event details as normal.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
      \n
      \"Create<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Select Save<\/span> at the top to finish and share the event with the email sender and other guests.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Create an Event for a New Message, Reply, or Forward\n<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

        If you\u2019re composing a new message, replying, or forwarding an email, you can create a Google Calendar event easily.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. At the bottom of the message window, select the Calendar<\/span> icon or three vertical dots<\/span>. Move to Set up a time to meet<\/span> and pick Create an event<\/span>.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
          \n
          \"Create<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
            \n
          1. You should then see a new event window on the right side of Gmail. If you\u2019re replying to an email with the event, you\u2019ll see the title as the email subject and the sender as a guest, and you can edit both. For a new message, create the event as you normally would with a title, the date and time, and the guests.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
            \n
            \"Create<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
              \n
            1. When you finish adding the event details, select Save<\/span> at the bottom. If prompted to send the invitation email to the guest, choose Send<\/span> or Don\u2019t send<\/span> per your preference.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
              \n
              \"Create<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
                \n
              1. Whether you choose Send<\/span> or Don\u2019t send<\/span> above, the invitation will still appear inside the email window. You can then complete the message and send it like normal.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
                \n
                \"Create<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

                If you want to remove the event from the email, use the X<\/span> in the top right corner.\n<\/p>\n\n\n

                \n
                \"Create<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

                Send Available Times and Create an Event\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                Another handy time-saving feature for scheduling events from Gmail allows you to send times that you\u2019re available to your recipient. They can then select a time to create the event in Google Calendar.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                The feature is available to all Google Workspace customers as well as those with personal Google accounts<\/a>. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                To use this scheduling option, here are a few things to keep in mind:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
