Automatically trigger script function when the "send" button is pressed on the gmail app

Question

How do I tie/trigger a Google app script function to the Gmail Compose send button? something like this:

SendButton.addClickHandler(CalendarFunction);
var CalendarFunction = app.createServerClickHandler("CalendarFunction")

function calendarfunction {
etc****

I want to create a script that will allow users to add calendar info from inside the gmail compose box.

 "3 hours, Meeting, 4/03, 4:00pm".

Just trying to save time

Not sure what you are asking is possible. However you can do this:

Send an email to a special address ([email protected]) and have the date, time, body of reminder in the subject
Use an app script working via time based trigger to search your gmail inbox periodically to pick up the said email
Use the subject of the email to set the calendar entry
Delete the email
Set an Archive rule so that mails sent to [email protected] do not hit the inbox
