In this article, we will show you how to send a Google Calendar invite using your desktop and smartphone. Simply follow the process below.
Follow the simple process below to send an invite on Google Calendar:
To start, open any web browser like Chrome or Firefox on your desktop. Type in `calendar.google.com` in the address bar. Make sure you're logged into your Google account, which is necessary to access and send calendar invites.
On your Google Calendar, find the date for which you want to schedule the event. Click on that date.
A small pop-up will appear with an option for "More Options." Click this to open a detailed event creation window, where you can add comprehensive details about your event.
In the new window, you'll see fields to enter your event's details. Start by giving your event a clear title. Then set the start and end times. If your event is happening at a specific place or via an online platform, add the location or a link for a video conference.
On the right side of the event creation window, you'll find a section labeled "Guests." Here, type the email addresses of the people you want to invite. After typing each email address, press "Enter" to add them to the guest list. Each guest will receive an invite to this event.
Below the email addresses in the "Guests" section, you'll find options to control guest permissions. You can choose if your guests are allowed to modify the event, invite others, or see who else is invited. Tick the relevant boxes based on your preference.
In the large "Description" box, add any additional information that your guests need to know about the event. This could include an agenda, specific instructions, or any other relevant details.
If you have documents or files related to the event, click the paperclip icon to attach them.
After filling in all the details, click the "Save" button at the top of the window.
A prompt will ask if you want to send invitations to the guests. Click "Send" to distribute the invites via email. Each guest will receive a notification with the event details.
If you need to change any details of the event after sending the invites, no problem. Just find the event in your calendar, click on it, and select the pencil icon to edit. You can then make any necessary modifications. Remember to save the changes, and your guests will be notified of the updates.
To make sure your guests remember the event, set up reminders. In the event details, you can choose how the reminders are sent (email or notification) and when (like 1 day or 1 hour before the event). This will automatically notify your guests at the chosen times.
Follow the process below to send a Google Calendar invite using Gmail in your browser.
Start by opening Gmail and clicking the "Compose" button in the upper left corner. This action opens a new email composition window.
In the email window, click the three dots for 'More options' at the bottom. Choose "Set up a time to meet."
Select "Create an event" from the subsequent dropdown menu.
After selecting "Create an event," a side panel appears next to your email. Use this panel to enter your calendar event's details, such as title, date, time, and location or video conference link.
In the side panel, you'll find an option to add guests. Enter the email addresses of the invitees, adding each address one by one.
Add a detailed description of the event in the side panel. Adjust additional settings like visibility and notification preferences here as well.
After entering all details, click "Save" to embed the event in your email draft.
Finish your email and click "Send" to dispatch both the email and the calendar invite.
