Forward any email to [email protected] and Agenda Hero pulls out the event details and emails them back to you almost instantly. Add them to Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook, or Agenda Hero. If the email is full of events, tell Agenda Hero which ones you want, and it leaves out the rest.
Why turn emails into calendar events?
We get emails every day with dates tucked inside them. A dental reminder, hotel and flight confirmation, meeting request, the school newsletter and the town's weekly update.
The event is in there, sprinkled between paragraphs of other text, waiting for someone to pull it out. So you open your calendar, start a new event, and copy over the date, time, and place by hand. Then you do it again for the next email. It's invisible work, and it adds up.
Now you can forward the email and let Agenda Hero do it.
- No retyping: Agenda Hero reads the email and finds the events for you.
- Only what you need: Tell it which events you care about, and the rest stay out of your calendar.
- Check before you add: Preview the original email next to the results so you know they're right.
- The calendar you already use: Send events to Google, Apple, Outlook, or Agenda Hero.
- Works from any inbox: If you can forward an email, you can use it. Nothing to install.
It's a crowded inbox turned into a clear calendar, with almost no work.
How do I turn an email into calendar events?
- Find the email with the event details, like an appointment reminder, a reservation, or a newsletter.
- Forward it to [email protected].
- Want only some of the events? Add a note above the forwarded message, like "only send events about recycling."
- Check your inbox. Agenda Hero emails your events back within a few minutes.
- Open the results, review them, and add them to Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook, or Agenda Hero.
Tip: Save [email protected] as a contact so it's there whenever you hit Forward.
Can I choose which events I get back?
Yes. When an email holds lots of events, write a note when you forward it telling Agenda Hero which ones you want. Everything else is left out.
Say your town sends a weekly update every Friday, packed with everything happening around town. You only care about recycling dates, because your program is changing. Forward the email to [email protected] with "only send events that have to do with recycling," and that's all you get back.
A few other notes you could try:
- "Only the events for the 4th grade"
- "Add 'Dentist' to the start of every title"
- "Skip anything that's already passed"
- Prefix titles or mark repeating events
What happens when I open my results?
Click the results in the email Agenda Hero sends you, and you'll land on your Magic results page. There you can preview the original email next to the events Agenda Hero found, so you can check that everything is accurate before it goes on your calendar or edit events before adding.
From there, it's everything you already love about Agenda Hero Magic. Send your events straight to Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook, or Agenda Hero.
Why forward emails instead of connecting my whole inbox?
Because you shouldn't have to hand over your entire inbox to get one dentist appointment on your calendar.
A lot of apps ask you to connect your whole email account before they can help. That means every message, from your bank statements to your personal messages with friends, gets digested.
We built it the other way around. You forward only the emails you want handled, and that's all Agenda Hero ever sees.
- Better privacy: Nothing in your inbox is shared unless you choose to send it.
- Less noise: Your calendar gets the events you actually want to remember, not every date that happens to show up in an email.
You're in charge of what you share, one email at a time.
Quick questions
Can I forward an email with lots of events in it?
Yes. Agenda Hero finds every event in the email, or just the ones you ask for in your note.
Can I forward from my phone?
Yes. Use the Forward button in any email app.
Does it read attachments, like a PDF schedule or a flyer image?
Not yet. Agenda Hero reads the text in the body of the email, not attachments like images, PDFs, or documents. For those, upload the file in the Agenda Hero app or at agendahero.com/magic.
Try it: Forward your next email to [email protected].
