Take, for instance, the applications contained within Google Workspace. Because of the interconnected nature of the Google Workspace platform, there’s a lot that the different programs can do in tandem. As an example, let’s consider how the word-processing application Google Docs can be used to generate events in the associated account’s Google Calendar. ## How to Draft Calendar Events via Google Docs First, you need to open up a new Google Doc. Under **Insert**, select **Building blocks** and then **Calendar event draft**. Alternatively, you can also use the “@” sign, typing **“@calendar event draft”** and pressing **Enter**. You then have a few options to add people to your new event’s **Guests** field. You can once again use “@” 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’re ready to send it over to the Calendar. This is simple to do. In your calendar event draft, you’ll see the option to **Send the event draft to the Calendar**. You’ll have the option to make more changes in the Calendar window that appears in a new tab. Once you’re finished, click **Save**. Make sure you check back for more handy tips!
