🛠️ How to Disable Gmail-Based Event Creation in Google Calendar

Body

This setting is not visible in the Admin Console's Calendar sharing settings. Instead, each user must change it in their own Calendar interface:

✅ Steps for Individual Users:

  1. Go to Google Calendar.

  2. Click the gear icon in the top right and select Settings.

  3. Scroll down the left-hand menu and click Events from Gmail.

  4. Uncheck “Automatically add events from Gmail to my calendar.”

  5. Optionally, uncheck “Show declined events” to reduce clutter.

This prevents Gmail from auto-creating events like fake bookings, flight confirmations, or phishing-triggered calendar entries.
