Google has introduced a new feature for Google Workspace users that enables adding events to Google Calendar directly from emails in Gmail. This capability is powered by generative Gemini, which automatically detects calendar-related content in an email and suggests an “Add to Calendar” button. After clicking this button, a confirmation for adding the event to the calendar appears in Gmail’s sidebar.
Currently, the feature is available only in English and only on the web version. Events created using the “Add to Calendar” button will not include other guests and will not appear for emails with already highlighted events, such as restaurant reservations or flight bookings. Administrators can enable this feature by activating smart features and personalization in the Workspace admin console.
The new feature is available to users subscribed to Google Workspace for Business and Enterprise, as well as customers with Gemini Education, Gemini Education Premium, or Google One AI Premium plans. Users who previously purchased the now-discontinued Gemini Business or Gemini Enterprise add-ons can also use this feature.
This feature is part of the expansion of Gemini capabilities in Gmail, where tools for composing emails and summarizing email threads are already available. Over time, such features will also appear in the Gmail apps for iOS and Android, allowing users to further optimize their email workflow.
