How to add invitations only from known users in Google Calendar
In this guide, we will show you the steps to add invitations only from known users in Google Calendar. So recently I noticed and many other users noticed that an event by the name of “Gaming GIFT from Santa inside” was added to our Google Calendar without any prompt or acceptance from our end. Upon further investing it, it said that the event has been “automatically added from email” and the sender was GOG.
On the other hand, some users reported that the sender was tagged as an “Unknown Organizer” with the email ID [email protected] . All in all, not only is it spamming our event section, but could also prove to be a major risk to privacy concern if the even comes with a phishing or scam link. So to avoid this, your best course of action should be to instruct Google Calendar that it should only add events from known users.
Apart from that, you could also take a more aggressive approach and instruct Google Calendar to add events only when you respond to the invitation in the email. In this guide, we will show you how both these settings could be applied. So without further ado, let’s get started.
