How It Works

Calendar APIs are notoriously inconsistent across providers. Google Calendar uses RFC 5545 recurrence rules, Outlook uses its own format, and Exchange has yet another. The Nylas CLI normalizes all of this behind a consistent interface.

Tips

Combine with other commands: Chain nylas calendar events create with other Nylas CLI commands using shell pipes and variables for complex workflows.

Debug mode: Add --verbose to see the underlying API requests and responses — useful when something doesn't behave as expected.
