This is so great, thank you so much for sharing.

Thank you for the video. How do I allow the guest to modify the event? as the created events do not allow guests to edit the same.

thanks! modified this to fit my purpose -- I had no idea about Apps Script and the biggest hurdle was finding something that could integrate with Gmail and GCal that I was comfortable giving access to.

What if I want the event to not be added to my default calendar, but to a secondary calendar on the same account?

Cool hack! How do I change it to my time zone? It is populating to eastern and I am mountain. Also, without the year it populated to last years date... Thanks!

How do you create the event in a specific calendar (e.g. New Hire)? I just want to capture the keyword in the subject line (e.g. New Hire) and then create an all-day event. No date/time is needed. Thank you in advance.

I followed the example but my event is going to october 10, 2023. Any reason why that could be happening?

This is a great script but for some reason if you include the year like 1/11/23 its defaulting to the year 1923
