Sending "Meeting" Requests from Gmail/Outlook calender to HA?

Configuration

I think I know the answer, but I’m gonna spitball this one in the hopes I’m wrong or that it will get a developer’s gears turning lol.

Anyways, is there a way that I can send a “meeting” invite from my either gmail or Outlook calendar to my HA calendar? A common use case would be if I’m on vacation/holiday on a given day at work, I make an all-day “PTO” event, and I’d love to send that event to my HA calendar. And from there, I’ll use it to drive my if I’m working boolean flag in HA.

Fingers crossed. Thanks in advance!

Edit: forgot to mention that I’m aware of the Google calendar integration, and I know how I’d complete this if I were to go that route, but my hope is to do this without using the Google calendar integration.

I am not a HA developer (but used to develop professionally years ago). If it were possible, it would require HA to either receive mail, or read received mail. The imap integration does that, but it is not that different from integrating a cloud based calendar. So that still seems the best way.

If you dislike Google, I’d look for another calendar integration using caldav.

What you can do is create some webhook that creates a calendar entry. But you cannot do that like you invite someone in another caalendar.

I think there is an office 365 integration in HACS that might be a help.
