How to Create a Calendar Event Via Google Email
Gmail is a free popular webmail service that was created by Google. In addition to emailing, Gmail users can also use Google Calendar to stay organized and keep track of their personal and professional events. Depending on your preference you can create a new calendar event from scratch or add a new event to your calendar from an existing email. After creating an event, Google can send you a reminder notice by email, text message or pop-up message on your computer.
