# Creating Events & Invites

> Create, edit, and manage calendar events with click-and-drag scheduling, conferencing links, recurrence rules, attendee management, and drag-to-reschedule.

Slashy has a full calendar built into your email client. Create events by clicking and dragging, add attendees and conferencing links, set recurrence rules, and send invites — all without leaving Slashy.

## Opening the Calendar

Press `2` to switch to calendar view, or `p c` to open the calendar in the sidebar panel. Use arrow keys to navigate, `t` to jump to today, or `g` to go to a specific date.

## Creating Events with the AI Agent

You can also create events by telling the agent in natural language:

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Schedule a meeting">
    Tell the agent: *"Schedule a 30-minute meeting with [jane@company.com](mailto:jane@company.com) tomorrow at 2pm."* The agent creates the event, adds a conferencing link, and sends the invite.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Find a time that works">
    Tell the agent: *"Find a time this week for a 1-hour meeting with the sales team."* The agent checks availability across attendees and suggests open slots.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Reschedule an event">
    Tell the agent: *"Move my 3pm meeting to Thursday."* The agent updates the event and notifies attendees.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Deleting Events

Click an event and select **Delete**. For recurring events, choose which instances to delete. Press `z` or `Cmd+Z` to undo within seconds.
