Google Calendar will now know when an event was added from Gmail

Google Calendar is rolling out some handy new features that will change how events created from Gmail show up for you. This feature’s gradual rollout began yesterday, so you might not see it show up right away.

A new event type called “fromGmail” will be introduced, making it easier to distinguish events created directly from your inbox from other entries on your calendar. This eliminates the guesswork when trying to remember if a particular meeting or appointment originated from an email. Additionally, instead of a vague “unknown organizer” label, these events will now clearly display the email recipient as the organizer. This seemingly small change brings much-needed clarity and organization to your calendar.

In terms of appearance, you may notice subtle changes to how events from Gmail are displayed in your calendar. There might be a handy link back to the original email, allowing you to quickly reference the details of the conversation. However, be aware that editing these events might have some limitations, as Google likely wants to preserve the integrity of the information contained in the initial email.
