Cannot get the Google Calendar to add events from Gmail

Hoping someone can help me out with this.

So apparently Google Calendar has the ability to automatically create/update events from Gmail, and I'm just not seeing that happening.

I have the setting turned on and for example I have 2 messages in my Gmail inbox. One is a forward from my spouse that is a message from priceline detailing a flight/hotel trip coming up in June, and the other is just a basic one line message from my work email address as a test with "Birthday Party" in the subject line and "4/6 at 3pm" as the only text of the email, and neither of these get added to the calendar.

Am I missing something with the setup of this?

Doesn't really help, there isn't a whole lot of information there about it.
