This is a concept, not a Google Calendar feature. I built it as a working prototype.
The problem
A lot of us have a weekly meeting that could have been an email. But cancelling it is more work than just showing up. You write the update, send it, then go back and cancel the meeting, and everyone gets two emails.
What I built
One button on the event. It opens Calendar's own Email guests dialog with the message already written from the meeting's agenda. Sending it cancels that week's meeting, so guests get one email instead of two.
Decisions
I reused Calendar's existing email dialog instead of designing a new one. People already know it, and it keeps the feature small.
The cancellation is a visible toggle inside the dialog, so it's clear what sending will do before you press Send.
It only touches this week's occurrence. The recurring meeting stays as it is.
Built with React, TypeScript and Motion. Try it here: https://uzookafor.com/could-be-an-email
