How to stop Events from Emails automatically appearing in your Google Calendar”

October 29, 2025 No comments yet

This is a big spam problem that Google does nothing about it (at least not yet).

If you get events like those 2 below automatically added to your Calendar, the reason is simple:

  • you received an email with details about that fake event
  • gmail and calendar want to be helpful and add them automatically to your Calendar.

While the reason is great and can become helpful, it’s also a source of Spam. This was also mentioned on Reddit.

Example of such Spam Emails being added to your calendar.

How to disable this:

  • On Desktop open a browser window and go to: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0/r/settings
  • Scroll down until this section below.
  • Uncheck “Show events from Gmail”
  • Save settings.

Short reassurance: disabling this doesn’t delete your emails and you can still add events manually.

You can also disable Smart Features from Gmail if you are annoyed about Flights/Hotels/Reservations being added automatically.
