Create a calendar event from Gmail

1. Create a calendar event from Gmail

Gmail also has integration with Google Calendar. When you receive invitations for an event, Gmail automatically adds those events to your calendar even if the event wasn't created in Google Calendar. Any message can be used to create an event on your calendar. Let's see how this works. Open a message and select the More action button. Select Create event from the menu. A new event details window will open in a new browser tab. The subject of the email automatically becomes the title of the event, but you can edit it. The body of the message will become the details of the event. Choose a date and time. Add guests. And select Save to add the event to the calendar. Gmail has a side panel on the right side of the window that enables quick access to your calendar. Choose the Google Calendar icon to open the calendar panel. Select the day and date to open the mini calendar to change the month and day you want to view. You can also choose options to switch between a day and schedule view and select which calendars to view. Select any existing event to view its details. Click anywhere on the calendar view to create a new event using a basic event editor. The event title will default to the subject of the message you're currently viewing. Select Edit to edit the event in the Gmail pane. Select Edit in Calendar to open a new tab with the full event details and options.
