# Insert an Event

To insert an event, your `insertXML` must include the following properties:

Property name | Description
--- | ---
`TYPE` | The type of item to insert (set this property to `EVENT`).
`CALENDAR_ID` | The ID of the calendar to add the event to.
`USER_ID` | The ID of the user account to add the event to.

For example:

    <insertXML>
      <insert>
        <reference>New event</reference>
        <property name="CALENDAR_ID" value="..."/>
        <property name="TYPE" value="EVENT"/>
        <property name="USER_ID" value="2fbcacc4-2b74-4cfd-bb3e-edad8f0cd0cc"/>
        <xmlmetadata>

              <Content>Please attend this event</content>
