# Create Google Calendar event

> Create events in your Google Calendar from a Workflow.

Create events in your Google Calendar directly from a [Workflow](/workflows/overview). Use this action to schedule meetings from form submissions, add follow-up events after calls, or automate calendar management.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add the action">
    In the [Workflow builder](/workflows/building), click the **+** button between existing blocks. Select **Create Google Calendar Event** from the action list.

  <Step title="Rename the action (optional)">

  </Step>

  <Step title="Select add type">
    Choose how to add the event:

    * **Detailed Event** — input specific details: title, start date, end date, and description. Use variables from previous steps or enter values manually.
    * **Natural Language** — write a plain text description and Google parses it to create the event (e.g., "Meet with Michael 10am 7/22/2024" or "Call Sarah at 1:30PM on Friday"). You can optionally enter a title.

    Under optional fields, select **Calendar** to choose which calendar to add the event to. If no calendar is selected, the event is added to your primary calendar.
