Adds a timed event to a calendar.
class CalendarApp method .createEvent()
CalendarApp is the Apps Script service.
.createEvent() is the method name you will see after a dot in your code.
What it does
Why it's used
- Book a follow-up call when a form row says schedule demo.
- Block time on the calendar from a sheet-based workflow.
Common errors
- Forgetting parentheses on createEvent. Write CalendarApp.createEvent(), not CalendarApp.createEvent or createEvent by itself.
- Skipping dots between chained calls. Each step needs a dot, like CalendarApp.createEvent().
- Adding spaces where they do not belong. Write CalendarApp.createEvent(), not CalendarApp .createEvent(), CalendarApp.createEvent (), or CalendarApp . createEvent().
- Wrong capitalization. Use CalendarApp and createEvent, not calendarapp or createevent.
