Morgan is frustrated that coordinating meetings over iMessage group chats results in event details being lost or people asking for the details again later. She wants a way to send calendar event details over iMessage so that group members can easily find and save the important information like time, date, and location of planned meetings. Screen mockups show a potential iMessage extension that would allow users to quickly create a Google Calendar event and send it within a group iMessage chat, solving Morgan's problem of having to resend meeting details multiple times.

2. Morgan the Event Director
Morgan is the director of her MHacks Corporate
Sponsor group. She needs to set up meetings with
her committee chairs, but she is walking to class and
doesn’t want to get her computer out. She needs to
text them over iMessage with the time, date, and
place to meet, and then enter the same information
into her calendar. When the meeting time comes,
her committee chairs ask again where to meet
because the text message was buried by other texts
in the chat. She wishes there had been a way to
send a calendar event over iMessage so members
could easily find and save the details
