In this short tutorial, you’ll learn how to create a new event in the calendar.
You only need a title and a date — everything else is optional.
1. Click the Create event button
You can create a new event in two ways:
- Click the blue Create event button in the top-left corner, or
- Click directly on any day in the calendar
2. Enter the event details
Add an event title and check the date.
If needed, adjust the time or mark the event as all day, select the calendar, and click Save.
That’s all you need to create an event.
3. That’s it
Your event is now created and visible in the calendar.
Optional: add more details
You can also add extra information to your event, such as:
- Participants from Jira or external email addresses
(participants will receive an email notification) - Start and end date for single-day or multi-day events
- All-day events or custom hours
- Event type (regular event, out of office, vacation, and more)
- Meeting link (Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, etc.)
- Notes or description
- Custom event color shown in the calendar
