Create an event from an emailNew

Turn an email about a meeting into a calendar event in a couple of clicks.

  1. Open the email.
  2. Open the More menu (three dots) and choose Create event, or press Shift and E.
  3. Check the details and choose Save.

The event editor opens with the email's subject as the title and a link back to the email in the description. If the email says when, like "tomorrow at 3pm" or "on 5 October at 14:00", that day and time are filled in. If it names a day but no time, it starts as an all-day event. Otherwise it starts at the next whole hour. Everything can be changed before you save.

To invite the people on the email, choose Invite the people from the email under the guest list. They are not added unless you choose it, because saving an event with guests sends them invitations.
