\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n

One of the nice things about software platforms is how well the applications within them interact with one another. Take, for instance, the applications contained within Google Workspace.<\/p>\n

Because of the interconnected nature of the Google Workspace platform, there\u2019s a lot that the different programs can do in tandem. As an example, let\u2019s consider how the word-processing application Google Docs can be used to generate events in the associated account\u2019s Google Calendar.<\/p>\n

How to Draft Calendar Events via Google Docs<\/h2>\n

First, you need to open up a new Google Doc. Under Insert<\/strong>, select Building blocks<\/strong> and then Calendar event draft<\/strong>. Alternatively, you can also use the \u201c@\u201d sign, typing \u201c@calendar event draft\u201d<\/strong> and pressing Enter<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

You then have a few options to add people to your new event\u2019s Guests<\/strong> field. You can once again use \u201c@\u201d and search through your contacts, or you can manually type out the appropriate email addresses. Add a title for your event, when it will start and end, where it will be, and a description, and you\u2019re ready to send it over to the Calendar.<\/p>\n

This is simple to do. In your calendar event draft, you\u2019ll see the option to Send the event draft to the Calendar<\/strong>. You\u2019ll have the option to make more changes in the Calendar window that appears in a new tab.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019re finished, click Save<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
