The Calendar API now distinguishes events created from Gmail
Thursday, May 30, 2024
Additional details
If you’re using the Calendar API, we recommend the following to help avoid any disruptions in your applications:
- Ensure that your code does not apply restricted updates to events with the type “fromGmail”.
- Temporarily, updates on events with the type “fromGmail” are restricted to the properties reminders, colorId, visibility, status, and extendedProperties. Stay tuned to the Workspace updates blog for more information.
- Review your code if it filters by eventType for Events.list or Events.watch. Filtering by eventType “default” will no longer return events extracted from emails.
Getting started
- Developers: Use our Developer Documentation for more information about the Calendar API eventType.
- End users: There is no end user action required. Visit the Help Center to learn more about managing events automatically imported from Gmail.
Rollout pace
- Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains: Extended rollout (potentially longer than 15 days for feature visibility) starting on May 30, 2024
