Google Workspace Updates: Google Calendar

Thursday, July 31, 2025

Build and deploy a single app across Chat, Gmail, Calendar, Drive and more with the Workspace add-ons framework

What’s changing

Previously available as part of the Google Workspace Developer Preview Program, we're excited to announce that the ability for developers to build Google Chat apps using the Workspace add-on framework is now generally available.

The Workspace add-ons framework makes it possible to build and maintain one app that works across multiple Workspace apps including Gmail, Calendar, Drive, and Chat. This reduces complexity and improves the experience for developers, system admins, and end-users.

In Chat, Workspace add-ons can provide helpful features, such as:

Previewing links from Chat messages and taking action without leaving the conversation.
Automating tasks across Google Workspace applications.
Receiving alerts or notifications from linked external services.
Combining external data from 3rd party apps and services with your data from Gmail, Chat, and Calendar.

Chat app interacting with Calendar and Gmail data

Additional details

Lucid, developers of Lucidchart, Lucidspark, and Lucidscale, recently updated their existing Workspace Add-ons to now support Chat. These integrations with Google Chat enable link previews, quick search, and access management all within Chat.

See more details on the Lucidchart, Lucidspark, and Lucidscale integrations here.

Soon, other partners, including Asana, Confluence, Figma, HubSpot, Miro, Polly, ServiceNow, Trello, 1Password, and more will be releasing Chat apps built on the Workspace add-ons framework.

What’s changing

To make sharing your availability even easier, we’re adding the ability to share your Google Calendar appointment booking page directly in your email.

Getting started

Admins: There is no admin control required for this feature.
End users:

To add your booking page to an email draft, select the Calendar Icon > click the correct booking page (or create a booking page) > see the booking page inserted into your email draft > hit Send.

Search for embedded content in Google Sites
Starting today, we're making it easier to find information within a Google Site. Previously, searching in a site only showed results from the text directly on the pages. Now, when you perform a search, the results will also include content from within embedded files, such as Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, and PDFs. | Learn more about searching for embedded content in Sites.

Drive IRM Update: More Control for File Owners and Shared Drive Managers
Now, individual file owners and shared drive managers can apply printing, copying, and downloading restrictions to users with edit permissions as well. Editors and owners can still edit the document itself, however they can only copy and paste document content within the document itself. | Learn more about Drive IRM.

Introducing Lucidchart and Lucidspark apps in Google Chat
Lucidchart, an app that helps users collaborate on diagrams, such as flowcharts, wireframes, entity relationship diagrams, and more, and Lucidspark, a virtual whiteboard tool, are two third-party add-ons already available across Workspace apps, such as Docs and Meet.

FINRA Compliance for Google Workspace: Google Drive and Calendar Updates

What’s changing

Today, we announced Google Workspace support for FINRA compliance, continuing our commitment to meet the unique needs of heavily regulated industry. This includes the preservation of records in a non-rewritable, non-erasable (WORM) format, including support for SEC Rule 17a-4, SEC Rule 18a-6, and CFTC §1.31.

We’re pleased to announce FINRA-compliant solutions for Google Drive and Calendar (complementing our existing FINRA-compliant features for Gmail, Chat, and Meet) that address the critical supervisory, documentation, and surveillance requirements that underpin financial regulations:

For Google Drive, super admins can now use Google Workspace’s Data Export tool and AODocs to create a FINRA-compliant archive of their Google Drive data in a Google Cloud Storage (GCS) bucket. This data can be from specific organizational units (OUs), groups, or users, and filtered by Drive labels.

When you’re using the Data Export tool, select “FINRA” as your export type

For Calendar, super admins and admins with third-party archiving privileges can enable third-party archiving on an OU or group level and specify the email address to which Calendar archives should be sent. The following events will be captured:

On the monitored user’s calendar: all events and their updates, including events modified by another user with the appropriate access to the monitored user's calendar
On other calendars that the monitored user can make changes to: all actions performed by the monitored user

When these actions are performed, an email is sent to the journaling address specified by the admin with the event data, user who performed the action, and time stamp. providing access via SMTP for a third-party service provider to archive and produce the records on demand.

Third-party archiving can be enabled in the Admin console by going to Apps > Google Workspace > Settings for Calendar > Third-party Archiving Settings

Who’s impacted

Admins

Why it’s important

These updates are critical for Google Workspace customers operating in the financial services industry on a global scale. For Calendar, archival journaling functionality supports compliance news by ensuring electronic communications are captured and preserved, meeting essential record-keeping standards. For Drive, admins can manage and securely store critical documents at scale. These solutions add to our existing FINRA-compliant features for Gmail, Chat, and Meet (when certain settings are enabled and disabled), providing global communication solutions and cutting edge productivity tools that meet the regulatory needs of customers in the financial services sector.

Additionally, we are proud to announce partnerships with several industry-leading Digital Communications Governance and Archiving (DCGA) vendors: AODocs, Mimecast, Smarsh, and Global Relay. These partners provide vital connectors for our customers, ensuring the compliant flow of Google Workspace data into their trusted archiving solutions. For more information on these partnerships and FINRA compliance for Google Workspace, visit the Workspace blog.

Getting started

Admins: Visit the Help Center to read more our Workspace FINRA configuration guide, and to learn more about integrating Calendar with a third-party archiving solution, and setting up a FINRA compliant data export.
End users: There is no end user action required.

Rollout pace

Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains: Gradual rollout (up to 15 days for feature visibility) starting on June 30, 2025

Configure Calendar interoperability with Microsoft Office 365 using the Microsoft Graph API

What’s changing

Beginning today, Admins can use the Microsoft Graph API to enable Calendar interoperability with Microsoft Office 365. The Graph API will replace the existing Exchange Web Services (EWS) API, which will no longer be supported by Microsoft beginning October 1, 2026 – we recommend that admins update their interop configuration to Graph API as soon as possible.

Admins can configure interoperability via the Graph API in the Admin console by going to Apps > Google Workspace > Calendar > Calendar Interop Management > Exchange availability in Calendar > Allow Google Calendar to display Exchange user availability. The user interface has also been streamlined and admins can easily select an endpoint from a drop down list, and enter other details like the specific Microsoft domain that should be connected to Calendar, and specify role accounts for user availability and resource booking.

Quickly select your endpoint type from the new drop down list

Enter additional details, like the Microsoft domain you want to connect to and role accounts.

We’ve also made additional updates to improve the overall admin experience, including additional user interface updates and troubleshooting — keep reading for more information.

Who’s impacted

Admins

Why it’s important

These updates will ensure calendar interoperability continues after support for EWS ends and improve the overall experience for configuring and managing interoperability for admins. Additionally, the Graph API allows admins to grant access to Exchange calendar data only, ensuring access isn’t too broadly scoped.

Additional details

Also included in this update are the following improvements:
Admins can use the same role accounts for user availability and resource booking when configuring their Graph API interop setup.
We’re making it easier for admins to troubleshoot errors encountered while setting up interoperability. Admins can now see detailed information each step of the way which will help them work through potential issues in the setup configuration.
The overall Admin user interface has been streamlined as well. Admins can define which domains are supported by which endpoint, and this information is neatly listed in a table. This makes it easily scannable and actionable, and helps avoid unnecessary queries trying to get the availability of users who are not part of a domain covered by the interop setup.

Apps > Google Workspace > Settings for Calendar > Calendar Interop management

If admins select EWS, or have existing endpoints set up using EWS, they will see a reminder banner that EWS will no longer be supported by Microsoft and to use the Graph API instead.

Getting started

Admins: As the Exchange Web Services endpoint type will no longer be supported beginning October 1, 2026, we recommend updating your interop configuration to Graph API as soon as possible. Visit the Help Center to learn more about Calendar interoperability, and specifically allowing Calendar users to see Exchange availability.
End users: There is no end user action required.

Google Workspace apps for Gmail, Google Drive, Google Docs, Calendar, Keep, and Tasks are now generally available for the Gemini app

What’s changing

Earlier this year, we launched Google Workspace apps (formerly known as "extensions") in Gemini in open beta. When enabled, Gemini can reference and incorporate data from these apps to generate even more informed and relevant responses, bringing Gemini’s capabilities more seamlessly into your daily workflows, helping enhance productivity. Workspace apps are available for:

Calendar
Docs
Drive
Gmail
Keep
Tasks

Beginning today, we’re pleased to announce that extensions for these apps are now generally available.

Who’s impacted

Admins and end users

Why you’d use them

When enabled, Gemini can interact with other Google apps and services to provide more contextual and relevant responses to your prompts and take certain actions across apps. For example, you can:

Gmail: ask what dates were proposed in the email about the team offsite.
Drive: find the document about the website clean-up project and summarize the proposal in a few bullet points.
Docs: reference a Doc that outlines your target audiences while performing customer research in parallel.
Calendar: create an event based on specific details or based on the conversation with the Gemini app, find events for a specific day or date range, modify events in Calendar.
Tasks: add reminders and tasks, including those based on your conversations with Gemini, or view and update a list of your tasks.
Keep: create notes and lists, add items to an existing list, find content from your notes and lists, and reference your notes and lists in conversion with Gemini.

Additional details

Context aware access support:

Like all Google apps, context-access aware policies can be applied to the Gemini app. Note that at the moment, CAA policies can only be applied to Gemini on the web, they cannot be applied on mobile.
If these policies are not met, users will not be allowed to access Gemini.
If a user meets the Gemini app specific CAA policies, they can interact with Gemini. If a prompt requires access to Workspace data, CAA policies will determine if a user has access to the requested data. For example, if a user asks Gemini "What are my unread emails?", they will see the requested content if they have access or they’ll receive an error message.

If your prompt includes multiple actions that require separate apps or services, but one or more of the required services are not enabled, neither of the actions will be completed. For example, if you prompt Gemini to create an event on your calendar and a reminder for that event but the Tasks extension is not enabled, the event will not be added to your calendar and you will not get a reminder.
Google Workspace extensions are not available to Google Workspace users accessing Gemini as an additional Google service.
Google Workspace extensions are only available to users 13+.
All prompts, responses, or content the Gemini app gets via apps (fka extensions), is not reviewed by anyone to improve AI models, not used to train AI models, and not shared with other users or institutions.
Note that Google Workspace Education Fundamentals users do not have access to Drive or Docs in the Gemini app. They can access Gmail, Calendar, Keep, and Tasks.

Getting started

Admins: Access to Workspace apps is controlled by the new “Allow access to Workspace apps after Beta (upcoming general availability)” setting. Access is ON by default unless you previously took action on the setting leading into general availability. Visit the Help Center for more information on turning Workspace apps in Gemini on or off.
End users: If enabled by your admin, connecting Google Workspace allows users to summarize, get quick answers, and find information from Calendar, Keep and Tasks in addition to Gmail, Docs, and Drive directly in Gemini. Visit the Help Center to learn more about using Google Workspace extensions.

Improving Google Calendar's interoperability with Microsoft Outlook

What’s changing

We recently announced an improved syncing experience from Google Calendar to third-party calendars, like Microsoft Outlook, that allows event guests to enjoy a more reliable syncing experience with less calendar emails in their inbox.

Building upon this, we’re excited to announce that Calendar now reliably processes calendaring emails sent using the Microsoft-specific format for rich text emails called Transport Neutral Encapsulation Format (TNEF). As a result, Calendar users and organizations that routinely collaborate with internal and external Outlook users will now benefit from a more reliable experience when receiving invitations and RSVPs from Outlook users.

Getting started

Admins and end users: There is no admin controls or end user setting for this feature.

Rollout pace

Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains: Available now.

Availability

Available to all Google Workspace customers, Workspace Individual Subscribers, and users with personal Google accounts

Know who an event is shared with when using shared Google Calendars

What’s changing

Users can have one of the following access permissions for shared Google Calendars:

“See only free/busy (hide details)”
“See all event details”
“Make changes to events”
“Make changes and manage sharing”

The “Make changes to events” permission enables users to create events on shared calendars, but when those events are created, the user does not know which other users the event is shared with.

To improve upon experience and ensure users are aware of who they are sharing content with, users with the ability to “Make changes to events” can now see the members of the shared calendar, i.e. who their events are shared with.

users with the ability to “Make changes to events” can now see the members of the shared calendar, i.e. who their events are shared with.

Getting started

Admins: As an admin, you can control how much calendar information people in your organization can share with users external to your organization. You can also set the default level of sharing for users within your organization. Visit the Help Center to learn more about setting Calendar sharing options.
End users: On Calendars with “make changes to events” access permission, you will now see the members of calendars. You can control the access permission of other users for your Calendars only on Calendars with “make changes and manage sharing” access permissions. Visit the Help Center to learn more about sharing your calendar with someone.
Developers: For Calendars where a user has “make changes to events” (aka “writer”) permissions, the Acl.list and Acl.get method will newly return the members of the shared calendar and Acl.watch will notify about changes to members.

Rollout pace

Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains: Gradual rollout (up to 15 days for feature visibility) starting on February 4, 2025
