Link to create events on Google Calendar
21 Nov 2018This is something I periodically search for, so I decided to finally write it down somewhere.
Is there a way to construct a link that opens a prefilled Google Calendar form to create an event?
Yes, there is.
And that’s it:
https://www.google.com/calendar/render?
action=TEMPLATE&
text=Your+Event+Name&
dates=20140127T224000Z/20140320T221500Z&
details=For+details,+link+here:+http://www.example.com&
location=Waldorf+Astoria,+301+Park+Ave+,+New+York,+NY+10022&
sf=true&
output=xml
As per 2018/11/21 this URL is redirected to:
https://calendar.google.com/calendar/r/eventedit?
text=Your+Event+Name&
dates=20140127T224000Z/20140320T221500Z&
details=For+details,+link+here:+http://www.example.com
&location=Waldorf+Astoria,+301+Park+Ave+,+New+York,+NY+10022&
sf=true&
output=xml
