Add events and reminders from your Proton Mail inbox

Proton Calendar will add events from emails like appointment reminders, booking confirmations, and conference registrations. 

Emails that don’t require a response show an Add to Proton Calendar button instead of the Yes, Maybe, and No response options used for invitations. 

Clicking the Add to Proton Calendar button adds the event to your Proton Calendar without notifying the sender.
