Are Google Calendar and Contacts linked?

Question

Can I create an event from contact with one click?

For instance to create an event as a birthday reminder?

Answer 1

When you set up a birthday for a contact, you can see it in your Google Calendar by showing the birthday calendar.

To enable the birthday calendar, do the following:

1. Settings > Calendar Settings
2. Choose the Calendars tab
3. Browse interesting calendars >>
4. Choose the More tab
5. Select Subscribe on the Contacts' birthdays and events calendar.

Now whenever you add a birthday to a contact, you should see it in your calendar.
