Amazon Echo Google Calendar Enhancement: Add Events To Your Google Calendar With Voice Commands! - Love My Echo

Google Calendar integration with Echo and Alexa has been around a long time, but many (myself included) haven't made much use of it because of its limited functionality: you could check what you'd already added to your calendar via the Google Calendar app or website, but you couldn't add new events or reminders to the calendar using Alexa voice commands. Last week, LME Facebook page follower Oliver Crown alerted me that now you can! Oliver reported using the command, "Alexa, add [event name] to my calendar on [day] at [time]," but that command didn't work for me. The command I've found that always works is, "Alexa, add an event to my calendar." After that, Alexa will prompt you, "For when?", meaning what day. You can either give the day as [month] [day], or day of the week (for the upcoming 7-day period only).
