Summary

gog calendar create --with-meet exists and works, but gog calendar update has no equivalent flag — there's no way to add a Google Meet conference to an existing calendar event via gogcli.

Current behavior

# Works — creates an event with a Meet link
gog calendar create --calendar primary \
  --summary "Demo" --start "..." --end "..." --with-meet

# No `--with-meet` flag available
gog calendar update --help | grep -i meet
# (no output)

The update subcommand can change summary, time, attendees, location, etc. — but not conferenceData.

Use case

A common agent / workflow pattern is "the meeting was already created without a Meet link; please add one." The Google Calendar API supports this via the standard events.update (or patch) call with conferenceData.createRequest, plus conferenceDataVersion=1.

Without update --with-meet, the only options are:

• Delete and recreate the event — loses attendee RSVPs, response history, the original event ID, and any links shared elsewhere.
• Drop down to the Google Calendar API directly using credentials sourced from gogcli's keyring — which is what unattended automations end up doing, and which is exactly the kind of credential-store reach-around we'd rather discourage.

A first-class update --with-meet flag would close both gaps.

Proposed

Add --with-meet to gog calendar update, mirroring the create flag:

gog calendar update <event-id> --with-meet

Implementation sketch (Calendar API):

• Send a PATCH to events.update with conferenceData.createRequest = { requestId: <random>, conferenceSolutionKey: { type: "hangoutsMeet" } }.
• Include conferenceDataVersion=1 in the query string.
• Re-fetch and surface the resulting hangoutLink / conferenceData.entryPoints[].uri in the success output, same as create --with-meet.

Optional companion flag for symmetry with create's removal-of-meet semantics (if applicable): --remove-meet.

Environment

• gogcli v0.12.0 (latest as of 2026-04-29) on Linux amd64
• Confirmed update --with-meet not present in --help output

Offer

Happy to test against our deployment and provide scrubbed evidence. Can attempt a small PR if the direction is agreed.
