Quickly add events to Google Calendar based on your emails with Gemini in Gmail

Written by Alfonso Martinez | Mar 10, 2025 3:41:56 PM

What’s changing

In addition to asking Gemini in Gmail to perform calendar related actions or answer questions about your calendar, you can now add an event to your calendar directly from an email. 

With this update, Gemini will automatically detect calendar related content in your email and an “Add to calendar” button will appear. Upon clicking this option, the side panel in Gmail will open to confirm the event has been added to your calendar. 




Getting started

  • Admins: To access Gemini in the side panel of Workspace apps, users need to have smart features and personalization turned on. Admins can turn on default personalization setting for their users in the Admin console. 
  • End users: 
    • This feature is only available in English and on web at this time. 
    •  The "Add to calendar" button will not appear for emails with already extracted events (like restaurants, flights, etc.). 
    • A calendar event created via the “Add to calendar” button will not include other guests. 
    • Visit the Help Center to learn more about collaborating with Gemini in Gmail.
