What it does
When installed, the agent can add a list of email addresses as attendees to an event you already have in Google Calendar, and have Google send those people update notifications. It follows three steps: fetch the event, patch in the new attendees with notifications enabled, then fetch the event again to confirm the attendee list. It relies on the gws command-line tool and the gws-calendar skill to actually talk to Google Calendar.
Great for
- Organizers who need to add a group of people to a meeting after it was created
- Assistants managing calendars for a team who want to invite several colleagues at once
Skip it if
- Creating brand-new events, since this recipe only modifies an existing event by its ID
- Situations where invitees should not be notified automatically, because sendUpdates is set to 'all' so Google emails everyone on the list
- Calendars you do not have edit rights to, since the change will fail or affect the wrong event
Try asking
- “Add alice@company.com, bob@company.com and carol@company.com to my Friday planning event and send them invites”
- “Invite the three new hires to the onboarding meeting on my primary calendar and confirm they were added”
- “Add these attendees to event ID abc123 and notify them”

Ask for the task
No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.
Get better results
- Give the agent the exact event ID or event title, and double-check the email addresses before it sends notifications, since invitations cannot be unsent.
- Note that the patch step replaces the attendees list with the one provided in the JSON, so include existing attendees too if you want to keep them.
- Ask the agent to show the event details before running the patch if you are unsure which event it will change.
