Google-calendar – How to get the @google.com id of a Google Calendar event

google-calendar

If you follow the tutorial Quickstart: Managing Responses for Google Forms, you'll notice that it references calendar events using an event id (event.getId()).

This an email address of the form gkp8em6kg4uebp44ia3qh6e7he5@google.com

If I already have a pre-existing calendar event, how do I get its id?

Preferably looking for a solution that doesn't involve Google Apps Scripts and can be done via UI alone.

It needs to be in this exact format because I plan on (eventually) creating a Google Apps Script to reference it.
