iPad creating calendar events from mail messages

[mk313]

I believe the answer is no, but want to see if I'm just missing something.

On my macs, I will oftentimes drag an email to my calendar to create an event. I use this a lot for knowing when shipped items will arrive at my house. The advantage of doing this is that I can click on the event & see the link to the email, which I can then open. I cannot figure out any way to replicate this functionality on the iPad. Is this just not an option or am I missing something obvious?

Thanks in advance.

To create an appointment from an email on an iPad,
open the email in the Mail app and look for underlined dates or times. Tap the underlined text and select "Create Event" to automatically populate a new calendar entry with the email's detai

You can also drag and drop an email into the calendar app. It will then create an event or you can change it to a task before saving it.

Thanks, I'm familiar with this method, but not all emails display an underlined date/time. Appreciate the link though.

Thanks, this is exactly what I was trying to do on my ipad & it wouldn't work. After your message, I thought maybe it's something with the way I was doing it. I was able to set the calendar on one half of the display & mail on the other & do just as you mentioned.

I must have been doing something wrong before, but this is exactly what I was hoping for. Thanks for the tip.

Yeah, if you take a screenshot of the email. Add to calendar button is at the bottom of the screenshot.

I think on ipadOS too you can open the email and then split screen to calendar and drag drop that way too. But both methods should work. The method i screenshot is for iOS.
