Reviews & Comments of Send to Calendar chrome extension

This extension no longer works. It will open a new tag that direct you to add an event to your calendar but it will not populate that data from the selected text.

Not working W11 - great idea though

DOES NOT WORK except to send a copy of the page url to the notes section. Does not automagically read the date time let alone title and location and description of an event. Pointless.

I have used several of these. I like this one because it fills in the address in the calendar. Thus far this is the one I use for my purposes and I like it.

doesnt work. All it does is create an event for the day and time that you selected it. (if i selected the text "2020/05/10" today, it would create an event for today with a link to the page where i selected the text.) this extension has no date or time recognition, making it completely useless.

Smart extension that can "understand" the date and time and location! Not like the similar one https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/add-to-calendar/pipjnidgeelohoapkmdcbkddjjklnofj?hl=en

This used to work very well, but the new version doesn't work at all. All it does is open an empty "add to calendar" event page which I have to fill by myself.

Doesn't work. Just opens a page to add an event to google calendar with the current date and time. Doesn't read anything from the selected text like date, time or even any of the text. What's the point? I still have to do all the work of creating the event, this doesn't help at all.

This extension no longer funcions. It would be awesome if it did and I think the concept and what the developer is WAS great, but it's broken. Don't bother installing it until there's an update. I'm removing it for now.

Doesnt add the times automatically or place

Would be great if it actually worked as described.

Simply does not work, as the majority of people have indicated. It does open the calendar but does not populate the individual fields. Better than a kick in the head ... but not much!

Doesn't work. Creates a new, blank calendar entry on Google Calendar for the current date and time. Does not copy the date, time, location, or title.

Doesn't work. Simply links to a new event page on Google Calendar for the current date. No date, time, location, or title is added.

Doesn't work.

Good idea - but doesn't work with my Chrome Browser!

Doesn't work None of the fields are populated with information

Doesn't work. Opens Google Calendar current date/time.

Does not parse the date within the selected text. only adds a block of text for an event "today"

Selected a date on a website. Right clicked to Send to Calendar. It sent the text to todays date.

It does not do what it states: The title does NOT appear. The times are not automatically entered. I like the idea, but it needs to work.

I appreciated that the developer took the time to make this very needed app. However it needs to be updated and does not currently function. It merely copies the url of the fb event into the description of the calendar event - slightly helpful but not close to what I need - Date recognition, location recognition, etc.

Can't do the only thing it's designed to do - recognise dates in text. Fail.

2018 No longer works. Very unfortunate. ----------- 2016 This works surprisingly well. Certainly a time saver.

Hasn't worked for me once. Even just selecting basic text like "Wed 27 September, 1pm" doesn't get recognised (instead it populated the current date and time). At best it seems like a somewhat easy way to open the calendar app when you need it.

I tried a linkedin event, it put it on today's date. I tried selecting the text first, did not help. if I copy the text to google's quick-add it works well for date&time just always messes up the title.

Cool idea, doesn't seem to work though. No date or event information comes through to calendar for me :(

Does not detect dates and time. Does not even enter title, just opens calendar with a new event.

did not do what was advertised - maybe needs updating?

Works pretty well. You have to double check to make sure it gets the date and time right. But most of the time it's accurate. Even when it's not, it's a quick way to get to the Google calendar event page and you can edit from there.

Great functionality. It would be even better if it will copy the URL to the MAP location. If not possible, just copy to the clipboard.

UPDATE:Toolbar icon went from a matching monochrome icon to a colored icon... any way to get the option to re-enable the monochrome icon? I hate having extensions draw attention away from the screen content with distracting icons. ORIGINAL: Almost perfect! It would be excellent if you could set it to automatically add the selected text/url to a specific calendar without confirmation.

I've been waiting for this feature for a long time. Thanks!

Does what it says. Doesn't put the full url into the event. (Drops URL variables)

Not any better than the Add to Calendar function that comes with the Google Calendar app

I wanted this primarily to create calendar events based on gmail mails. It fails to detect the date, time, event title, etc.

Never worked: Repeated: Information request failed. Trying again Information request failed. Trying again Information request failed. Trying again Information request failed. Trying again Tried 3 times, failed. Please go back to Facebook and try again

No, not perfect, but I just wanted something where I could select text and have that be sent to a Google calendar event so I don't have to futz with times. Just want to name the event and move on with my life. Thank you very much!!

It could be better... but that's by far the best one out there. Thank you

It doesn't parse selected date, time and location text from a Facebook page perfectly. It picks it up, along with the event title, and distributes it in at least a few of the fields on the event. I'm happy that I can just get an event open with a quick right-click from any web page; a time (and annoyance) saver. Thank you.

very good

You have to be somewhat careful about the text you select, or it won't be able to automatically work out the date/time. But it requires no privileges and does work.

Right click on highlighted text to make a calendar event is exactly what I was looking for.

Good basic functionality, but what I really want it to do is extract dates and times and auto-include them in the newly created event! Also, could somebody please develop a suite of right click apps??? It is definitely needed... so much user friendly functionality could be built into that little right click menu!

The first time I used this extension I thought it was pretty good besides not entering the correct time (entered events as all day events only). However, while trying to add more events, it didn't take long before it stopped working correctly. Now it doesn't get the date right at all, it only wants to input the current date, not the date of the event. I give it three stars because it still cuts down on the copy/paste monotony, otherwise I would rate it lower.

Love this. I have to edit every entry because the app isn't smart enough to figure where I want to put my highlighted text, but it's good enough that I don't have to manually open my calendar from my email. This works good enough for now.

Does not manage to correctly populate an event from very simple text in an email. Needs more work.

I was thinking about writing an extension to do something similar but I found this first. Works pretty good. I might fork it and work on some things. Kudo to the dev on a useful app.

Doesn't work period

This is what I was looking for and I am glad that it is working perfectly for some people, however, for me it just added the selected text plus my email to the event title. In both cases I selected three lines of text from an email that had the event title on the first line, the date and time on the second line and the location on the third line. Keep working on it, it is a great idea. I just tried it on a standard web page and it worked perfectly. I use gmail and a lot of my emails have event dates; it would be nice if it worked with that as well. Thanks

This is great. It's the best of the ones out there. It would be nicer if there were a button in the toolbar and if you could auto-detect Facebook events so that we don't have to do awkward selecting of text.

Pretty good! Not perfect in its parsing, but close enough on the several pieces of text I tried to save me a bunch of copy+pasting. Will see how it is over time.

It has difficulty with basic tasks. Sending Scheduled Delivery: 01-February-2013 to calendar from gmail, does open an event window, but it does not detect the date, nor put useful info in the description box. Perhaps worst of all, it does not put the selected text into the notes.

Finally one of these that works! Only suggestion is to give more flexibility about what it grabs for the title. Other than that it is fantastic.

One quick date format to add if possible: Event Title Wednesday, October 17, 2012 - 5:30pm Auditorium 100 Currently it renders it as a multiday event, starting on 10/17/2012 till 11/4/2012, and ignores the time. This specific case aside, it's a great app. Love it, works well.

Much better than other options out there, but still needs some work. It doesn't seem to recognize 24-hour time very well and using time zone terms like "PDT" causes it to radically offset the time, even if I'm already in PDT.

Worked perfect on first use. Exactly what I was looking for.

Super useful. I use this all the time
