To disable automatic calendar additions:
- Open Google Calendar.
- Click the gear icon and select Settings in the upper right part of the screen.
- Under Event settings, change Add invitations to my calendar to either Only if the sender is known or When I respond to the invitation email. (The default setting is From everyone, which will add any invite to your calendar.)
- Uncheck Show events automatically created by Gmail if you want to stop Gmail from adding to your calendar on its own.
