Google Calendar – Auto-Populate Anniversaries from Google Contacts

google-calendargoogle-contacts

There are lots of questions out there asking how to add birthdays and anniversaries to Google Calendar. I know how to auto-populate birthdays from Google Contacts to Google Calendar. And I know how to manually add anniversaries to Google Calendar as recurring events. My question is:

Is there a way to auto-populate anniversaries from Google Contacts to Google Calendar? Thanks.

It's imperfect, but if you put a date in the "Anniversary" field in Google Contacts, it will add annual events to Google Calendar on the "Birthdays" calendar with the text "John Doe's Anniversary". Of course, you'll need to display the Birthday calendar as well.

"Birthday" is a poor name for that calendar considering it's not just birthdays, but it's what we've got.
