Manage your events from Gmail

If you use Gmail, emails about your events, like flights or reservations, are added to your calendar. When you open the event in Google Calendar, you can find details about the event. This includes the address, reference number, and link to the source email.

If you don't want an event from Gmail on your calendar, you can delete it. You can also update your settings so events from Gmail aren’t added to your calendar.
