Automatically add events from Gmail

Tips

Keep track of all your reservations, meetings, or travel dates by viewing the synchronized events from your Gmail inbox in Google Calendar.

When you get an email about an event like a flight, concert, or restaurant reservation, it's added to your calendar automatically. You can choose who can view these events in your calendar.

If you don't want events from Gmail on your calendar, you can delete a single event, or change your settings so that events aren't added automatically.

Important: Starting January 25, 2021, if you're based in Europe, you must indicate how we can use your Gmail, Google Chat, and Google Meet data. Through certain Gmail settings, you control, for example, whether we can share your data with other Google products. These settings are off at first and unless you turn them on, various Google product features, such as in Gmail, won’t work. For more information, see Smart features & personalization controls in Gmail, Chat, Meet, and other Google services.

Choose the visibility of your events from Gmail

Open Calendar and go to Settings Settings.

Scroll to Events from Gmail.

In the Visibility of Gmail events field, choose an option:

Calendar default—Anyone who has access to view event details on your calendar can see the name and time for your event from Gmail. Only people who have access to make changes to your events can see other details from your email, such as confirmation numbers, flight status, or phone numbers.

Note: If you share your calendar publicly, choosing this option also makes your Gmail event publicly visible.

Private—Only people who have access to make changes to your calendar can see your event details. Anyone else who can view your calendar but can't make changes sees the event as "Busy".

Only me—Access to events on your calendar are only visible to you.

(Optional) To turn this feature off, uncheck the Automatically add events from Gmail to my calendar box.
