In this article, we explain how to create new events in Proton Calendar(nuova finestra) and how to modify or delete existing events.

If you have a Proton Free plan, you can create one additional calendar.

How to create events in our web app

To create a new event:

1. Log in to calendar.proton.me(nuova finestra) and do one of the following:

  • Click the New event button.

  • In Month view, click on any day in the calendar. The date of the event will default to that of the day you clicked on and the time will default to All day. These defaults can be adjusted as required in the next step.
  • In Day or Week view, click on a time slot for your chosen day. The date of the event will default to that of the day you clicked on in the calendar and the time will default to the time you clicked on (in half-hour increments). These defaults can be adjusted as required in the next step.

2. If you create an event by clicking on the calendar (in Day, Week, or Month views), a dialogue box will appear that allows you to quickly create an event. Click More options to enter additional information or perform more actions.

If you create an event using the New event button, you will automatically be shown the full More options dialogue.

Either way, give your event a title and specify a date, together with a beginning and ending time (or tick the All day box, as appropriate). If no ending time is specified, Proton Calendar defaults to ending events 30 minutes after the start time. 

No other information is required, so you can now click Save to create the event. The event will now appear in your calendar.

It is possible, however, to enter additional information and perform more actions. 

Add location

Enter information about where your event will occur. 

Change calendar

If you have created or imported(nuova finestra) custom calendars, then you can select which calendar the new event belongs to by clicking the default calendar and selecting another one from the list.

Add participants

Add the email addresses of participants for your event (Proton Calendar will auto-suggest entries from your Proton Mail contacts as you type). Each participant will receive an invitation to the event.

Add notification

You can add notifications to alert you about upcoming events. By default, you will receive a notification 15 minutes before the event, but you can add more and/or delete existing notifications (including the default one).

You must enable browser notifications to receive notifications on desktop systems. You will automatically receive event notifications on mobile devices that have the Proton Calendar Android or iOS app installed.

How to edit and delete existing events in our web app

Once an event has been created, click on it in any calendar to view the event details.

To change the details of the event, click the pencil icon, which takes you to the full More options dialogue described above. 

You can also Delete an event from here. If the event is a recurring event then you will be asked if you want to delete just this event or all events that you have scheduled.

If you delete the event after sending the invitations, all participants will receive an email to inform them of the cancellation.
