Google announces a new Add to Calendar button powered by Gemini for Gmail; Users can now add events to Google Calendar directly from an email

Remembering event details from an email can sometimes be difficult, especially when you have more than one event aligned on the same day. Well, Google has now come up with an amazing solution for this issue: The event details will be added to your calendar directly from your email.

Google officially announced yesterday that users can now add an event to their calendar directly from an email, apart from asking Gemini in Gmail to perform calendar-related actions or answer questions about their calendar.

Gemini will automatically detect calendar related content in your email and an “Add to calendar” button will appear. When a user clicks this option, the side panel in Gmail will open to confirm the event has been added to your calendar.  Admins can enable “Add to Calendar” by switching on smart features and personalization from Workspace Admin console. This feature is only available in English and on web at this time.

Also, end users should note that the “Add to Calendar” button will not appear for emails with already extracted events (restaurants, flights, etc) and a calendar event created via the Add to Calendar button will not include other guests.

The rollout of this feature started yesterday and the completion of rollout is expected by mid-April 2025. It will be available for Google Workspace Business and Enterprise tiers, customers with Gemini Education or Gemini Education Premium add-on, Google One AI Premium, and users who have purchased Gemini Business and Gemini Enterprise add-ons.
