Manage your events from Gmail

If you use Gmail, emails about events like flights or restaurant reservations are added to Google Calendar automatically. When you open an event from Gmail on your calendar, you can find details like the location, confirmation number, and a link to the email the event was created from.

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

Learn how events from Gmail work

You get events from Gmail in Google Calendar for:
- Flights, trains, and bus reservations.
- Hotel and restaurant reservations.
- Ticketed events, like movies and concerts.
Events from Gmail stay up-to-date on your calendar. For example, if you get an email confirmation that you changed the time of a dinner reservation, the event time updates too. Any changes you make are only visible on your calendar.
Event notifications are based on your default notification settings in Calendar.
By default, only you can find events added from Gmail, even if you've shared your calendar with others. You can change the visibility of events from Gmail.

Tips:

If you sync Calendar with another calendar program, you still get events from Gmail on your synced calendar, but some event details don’t show.
If you turn on personal results for devices that use Google Assistant, you can get a “Time to leave” notification for flights. Learn how to turn on personal results.
