Put email details into a calendar event

I am curious if there exists a simple way to use an email to create a calendar event that will have the email content embedded in the comments section of the event. In researching I know that I can drag and drop an email into the calendar to create the event; that works fine, but it only carries over the email title to the calendar event. I could open up the email and copy the text and then open up the event and paste, but I am hoping for something a little more automated.
The ultimate goal here is to have a better way to manage my way through email. I get numerous emails that have deadlines and or deliverables with information being provided in the email text, as well as, attachments. I would like to be able to place that information on a calendar event so that when the event comes up, I don't have to troll back through my email to find it.
I am open to ideas both delivered and hacked... My guess is that the answer to delivered is "nope" (at least in Mac Mail, maybe another mail client?); I have been pretty persistent in trying to figure it out. Hacked? I don't know. Applescript maybe?
I would enjoy hearing thoughts and ideas from those far wiser than me...

as an invite? The recipient can have a status is non participant

How do I set up an email Alert for a Calendar event?

I can't figure out how to set up an email Alert for a Calendar event at icloud.com or on an iOS device. Am I missing something?

Shortcut to paste contact info into a calendar event

If I'm creating an event in my calendar at a location that is listed in my contacts, is there a shortcut to paste the address and/or phone into the event details somewhere?
And if I get an email with lots of cool details in the body, is there a shortcut to transfer or paste all that info into my calendar?

Not from within the native operating system.
You will want to look at a third party application like Copy2Contact or Grabbit, both of which grab data from an email or such and create calendar events (or contacts, accordingly).

I WANT TO BE ABLE TO SYNC GOOGLE MAPS INTO MY CALENDAR EVENTS on IPhone

I often find myself with spurts of time where I can look up the location of my events, but when I am on the move I don't have a lot time. It would be very helpful to be able to attach locations into my events so that when it's time to go to that event I'm not scrambling trying to find out where it is. I think this would also be helpful for people, like myself, who maintain an executive's calendar and can streamline their day as well. If there is already a way to do this please help...otherwise someone with the means to do this (ie apple/mac) should include this into the next update.
Thank you for reading this and if you can offer any help it is much appreciated.

This works for me...
1. From the Maps app, drop a pin and position it where your event is
2. share that pin location via an email or MMS to yourself
3. copy that location from the email/MMS
4. paste it into the Notes section of your calendar event
5. you'll then have a link to Google maps in your event for your event location
...all from your iPhone.

Multiple Exchange email accounts into one calendar?

I've been looking for a definitive answer for this for awhile now and searches always leave something to be desired. Anyway, if a user has multple exchange accounts with different addresses, is there anyway to combine all of those accounts into one calendar?
The addresses should be forwarding to the "main" one, but the issue comes when someone sends a calendar invite to the different account([email protected] instead of [email protected], for example), it will only show up on the email1 account even
though it was forwarded to the email0 account. This is causing people to be double booked in our environment when one calendar shows free because someone looked at the wrong one.
To further piggyback that idea, is there anyway to turn OFF the calendar feature with an account so one can not even book it?
Most of the answers I have seen say this is NOT possible, and only way to "combine" is to overlay, which isn't the same thing at all. Any ideas?

Hi,
Please refer to the link below:
http://community.office365.com/en-us/forums/158/p/20554/96392.aspx#96392
Does that meet your scenario? If yes, disable users' access to the calendar in Outlook Web App by connecting to Exchange Online service and running the following command in PowerShell:
Set-OwaMailboxPolicy OwaMailboxPolicy-Default -CalendarEnabled $false
More information about using Windows PowerShell in Exchange Online, please refer to this link:

When I invite email addresses to my calendar events it doesn't work?

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could help, I have been creating events on my calender and when I got to add a email address for them to join it does not work. I get a ! and a little sidewards lightning bolt.
Is there anything I need to do in order for my Ical to be able to send this emails? My ical is also on a server which is connected to various other computers (our companys joint ical) has this got anything to do with why it doesn't work.
Any advice suggestions to solving this would be great.

Joe,
Specifically this is what you're missing:
However, you can go to the Amazon Developer Portal and download a JSON file that lets you test your .apk file in a sandbox environment without crashing. See Testing Your App on the Amazon Developer site..
Here's an example of one that I made:
https://www.box.com/s/05b8k8urcjbn7avfecj6
You will need to build out the json file such that it corresponds to your published folios (with the SKU being the value/Product ID from Folio Producer.)
This file needs loaded on the root of your Kindle Fire. It should cause the crashing to stop.

After putting an entry into the calendar it disappears after a few seconds

How can I cut and paste into a calendar's event notes?

How can I paste into a calendar event's note section? The attachement way is too cumbersome.

You are trying to copy a link, it is most likely in a different color such as the words "Microsoft's own forums" in his post. In Word highlight the word or words, control click on them, select Hyperlink, then Edit Hyperlink, then delete the link from the top box. It will then have a button asking if you want to "Remove Link", click on it.

How can I make Siri distinguish between calendar appointments (busy) and calendar events (free)?

When I ask Siri "How does my day look tomorrow?" she tells me every appointment (busy) and task (free) I have scheduled. I'm trying to find a way to let her know that I'm only interested in seeing what appointments (busy) I have that day.
Has anyone found a way to do this? I'm using iCloud calendars on all my devices.
I've already used iCloud calendars to designate each individual event as either "free" or "busy," but she continues to display all calendar events when I ask for an overview of my day. I've tried to do this from my iPhone, Macbook, and iCloud website.
Moving my tasks to my "Reminders" app won't help, because I need to be able to schedule time to work on specific tasks and also put important deadlines into my calendar. At the same time, when I ask Siri, "How does my day look," I am only interested in knowing what appointments I have that day.
I've also tried asking specifically "What meetings do I have in my [work/personal/family etc. calendar]" but that doesn't work either.
I've also tried asking "Can you show me when I'm busy today" and "Can you show me todays's appointments."
It may be that Siri doesn't have this capability yet, but it would be nice to know if its in the works or if it exists.

How to Drag and drop Mail message in Calendar event in Yosemite

Hi,
I am not sure if this has already been answered or if Yosemite Mail is missing one cool feature. In Mavericks and before, it was every easy to drap and drop a email message to a calendar event in the "URL" attachment section where it appeared as "Show in Mail..." in the event. But now, I don't find this drap-and-drop feature anymore?
The other alternative is to create a event from the Mail message content if there is a date (like 12/12/14) specified. But what about messages which do not have dates in them but I still want to attach the email to a calendar event?
Please chime in if others are also experiencing the same pain in Yosemite or if there is any other easier trick?
Thanks!

Hi Vivman,
You have duplicated this post here. Please do not post the same question to separate forum post.

How can i import my calendar events from google calendar to ical?

how can i import my calendar events from google calendar to ical?

To set up CalDAV support for Google Calendar in Apple's iCal, follow these steps:
Open Apple iCal, go to Preferences and then the Accounts tab.
Click on the + button to add an account.
In the box that pops up, enter a description for the account and your Google Account username and password.
Under Server Options, add the following URL:
https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/[email protected]/user//www.google.com/calendar/dav/[email protected]/user
Replace '[email protected]' with the email address that you use to log in to Calendar. Make sure to include the '@domain.com' portion (which is @gmail.com for Gmail users) in this section.
DO NOT substitute your username for 'user' at the end of the URL.
Leave the Use Kerberos v5 for authentication option unchecked.
Click Add.
Under the Delegation tab, select the calendars you'd like to add to iCal by checking the boxes next to them. You may need to hit refresh to get the latest list of calendars.
Add your email address to your Address Book card by selecting Add Email. You'll be prompted to add your email address only if your address is not already in your Address Book.
You won't be able to invite or email guests to Google Calendar events within iCal if your address is not in your Address Book.
Your Google Calendar will now appear in iCal's list of calendars, and changes you make to your Google Calendar in iCal will be reflected when you sign in to Google Calendar.
Event information will automatically refresh every five minutes. You can change this interval by opening the iCal > Preferences > Accounts menu and selecting a new refresh interval under the 'Refresh calendars' drop-down. Keep in mind you can also force a refresh by selecting a calendar and pressing the Apple and R keys at the same time.
Calendars that are checked but disabled have already been added to iCal - you can remove them from within iCal.

Changing Email Notification address in Calendar

Is there a way to change the notification email address in Calendar? At this time all notification are sent to a little used address and I need to change it to a current one, but cannot find a way to do that. Any clues please? Thanks, PM

When you set an Email alert for a calendar event you can pick from any of your email addresses on your card in Contacts.
In Calendar, double-click an event, and then click Edit.
Choose an alert from the Alert pop-up menu.
Message: Displays a notice on the screen (using Notification Center).
Message with Sound: Displays a notice on the screen and makes a sound (using Notification Center).
Email: Sends you an email. If you have more than one email address listed in Contacts, you can choose the one you want to use.
Open File: Opens the file you choose. If you don’t see the file you want, choose Other to select the file.
Choose a time or date from the accompanying Alert pop-up menu.
To add another alert, choose one from the next Alert pop-up menu.Each time you set another alert, a new Alert menu appears. However, you can set only one alert for events on an Exchange calendar.
To remove an alert, choose None from the Alert pop-up menu.

HT4860 Is there a way to link a contact to a reminder or calendar event?

I would like to place a link or in some other way embed contact information in my calendar events and reminders. Is there a way to do this? Also is there a way to share reminder lists? For example the grocery list, or a set of tasks for a project.

You can copy and past information into a calendar event or reminder, but not the contact itself.
You can share reminder lists as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm4bb3fa6e.

I put a calendar event into my iPhone (using iCloud calendar) but it does not show up in my Outlook iCloud calendar. Any idea what i am doing wrong?

Are you sure that you put the event on your iCloud calendar? You might want to check Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar to be sure you have selected the calendar listed under your iCloud account as your default.
