In Google Calendar, how can you invite someone to a newly created event?

To invite someone to a newly created event in Google Calendar, you would enter their email address in the Add Guests field. This is the primary and most efficient way to extend an invitation directly through the calendar interface.

When you input their email address, Google Calendar automatically sends an invitation to that email. This invitation allows the invitee to see the event details and accept or decline the invitation. It also enables updates about any changes to the event.

Using a phone number or sending reminders is not a method to directly invite someone through the calendar itself, since it does not create an event in the invitee’s calendar. Sharing a calendar link via social media lacks the specificity and directness of inviting individual guests to an event, as it doesn’t ensure that specific people receive a direct notification or have the event added to their personal calendar. Similarly, contacting someone separately to inform them about the event is also less efficient since it does not automate the process of adding the event to their calendar. Thus, entering their email in the Add Guests field is the most straightforward and effective method to invite someone to an event.
