Google Workspace Events

Get notified when things change in your Google Workspace—new emails, calendar updates, file edits.

Calendar

• Creates calendar events and meetings with simple requests
• Checks your availability and finds free time slots
• Sets up recurring events and reminders
• Syncs across Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, and Outlook
• Shows your schedule for any time period

Google Workspace Events

• Subscribe to live event streams from Gmail, Calendar, Drive, and other Google Workspace apps
• Receive instant notifications when emails arrive, calendar events are created, or files are edited
• Renew or pause subscriptions to control when you receive alerts
• List and manage all active event subscriptions across your Workspace

• You need to schedule a meeting without opening your calendar app
• You're trying to find a free slot that works for everyone

Reach for Google Workspace Events when…
