Create new Appointment with org-gcal

Question

I am using org-gcal and want to sync my Gmail Calender with Emacs. The from Google to Emacs way seems to work really nice.
In addition I am using calfw to view the appointments.

Is there an easy way to create a new appointment with predefined fields, like subject, time and so on, instead of manually create a todo in the gmail org file?

As proposed in the comments here is a sample appointment:

* Title
  :PROPERTIES:
  :LINK: [[https://www.google.com/calendar/event?eid=123456789][Go to gcal web page]]
  :ID: ukf76ifl27j3shea562f5vrhe0
  :END:

I hope this helps.

Answer 1

I found a proper solution:

I use the following template to write to my gmail.org. The neat thing is, as soon as I accept this template it automatically pushs it to Google.

* %^{Subject}
%^T

%^{Description}

I also got into the org-capture thing. I add the following thing to my config:

(with-eval-after-load 
    'org 
  (setq org-capture-templates
        '(
          ("g" "Gmail")
          ("ge" "Event" entry (file "~/Todo/gmail.org") 
           (file "~/Todo/.org-templates/event")
           :empty-lines-before 1))))

And the above template is just in the file "~/Todo/.org-templates/event".

You can start from setting below:

;;cfw:org-capture-template should be evaluated before requiring calfw-org
(setq cfw:org-capture-template
      '("c" "calfw2org" entry 
        (file "/path/to/your/gmail.org")
        "*  %?\n %(cfw:org-capture-day)"))

(require 'calfw-org)

With this setting, you can create new appointment by pressing "c" on the calfw view.
