G'Day all,
I am trying to make an Automations that will see a message containing a time (and or date) and put this in my Google Calendar.
E.G.
When the Doctor send me a text message about an appointment tomorrow (or whenever) the message will be converted into a calendar invitation with a copy of that message.

What have you tried?
Do you have an integration that allows HA to read sms messages?
Do you know how to create an event on your google calendar with an action?

Yeah, not really sure how to do that, if you've got the companion app you can get a sensor to show the latest notification on your phone that you might be able to extract sms information from

do you have any instructions for this?

Go on companion app on your phone
Settings > companion app > manage sensors
and then look for the notification section
As for actually setting up the automation, nope, like I said, I've not seen anyone trying to do this before.
I would probably try to do it with a template sensor - determine if it's an sms from the right person and has the date and time in it and extract it as a datetime (otherwise retain current state). Then it's a simple automation to wait for that template to change, and when it does add an event to the calendar
