Calendar Colors

Use gog calendar colors to see all available event colors (IDs 1-11)
Add colors to events with --event-color <id> flag
Event color IDs (from gog calendar colors output):
- 1: #a4bdfc
- 2: #7ae7bf
- 3: #dbadff
- 4: #ff887c
- 5: #fbd75b
- 6: #ffb878
- 7: #46d6db
- 8: #e1e1e1
- 9: #5484ed
- 10: #51b749
- 11: #dc2127

Email Formatting

Prefer plain text. Use --body-file for multi-paragraph messages (or --body-file - for stdin).
Same --body-file pattern works for drafts and replies.
--body does not unescape \n. If you need inline newlines, use a heredoc or $'Line 1\n\nLine 2'.
Use --body-html only when you need rich formatting.
HTML tags:  for paragraphs,   for line breaks,  for bold,  for italic, <a href="url"> for links, <ul>/<li> for lists.

Example (plain text via stdin):

gog gmail send --to recipient@example.com \
  --subject "Meeting Follow-up" \
  --body-file - <<'EOF'
Hi Name,

Thanks for meeting today. Next steps:
- Item one
- Item two

Best regards,
Your Name
EOF

Example (HTML list):

gog gmail send --to recipient@example.com \
  --subject "Meeting Follow-up" \
  --body-html "<p>Hi Name,</p><p>Thanks for meeting today. Here are the next steps:</p><ul><li>Item one</li><li>Item two</li></ul><p>Best regards,<br>Your Name</p>"

Notes

Set GOG_ACCOUNT=you@gmail.com to avoid repeating --account.
For scripting, prefer --json plus --no-input.
Sheets values can be passed via --values-json (recommended) or as inline rows.
Docs supports export/cat/copy. In-place edits require a Docs API client (not in gog).
Confirm before sending mail or creating events.
gog gmail search returns one row per thread; use gog gmail messages search when you need every individual email returned separately.
