What is an add to calendar link?

It's a link that puts your event straight into someone's calendar. They tap it, check the details and hit save. The date, time, time zone, location and description are already filled in. Fewer people forget, and more people show up.

What you get that most generators skip

A text that's ready to send

A short message with the date and a Google link, with its length and number of texts shown, so you know what it costs before you send it.

A QR code for print

Put it on flyers, posters and bulletins. People scan it and the event lands in their calendar.

Repeats and reminders

Weekly classes and monthly meetings carry over to Google and Apple. The .ics file can add a reminder before each one, too.

Add to Calendar Link FAQ

How do I make an add to calendar link for Google Calendar?

Fill in your event above and copy the Google Calendar link. It opens Google Calendar with the event filled in, so people just tap Save.

How do I add an event to an iPhone calendar from a link?

Use the .ics file. Download it, then share it, put it on your website or attach it to an email. On an iPhone, tapping an .ics file opens it in the Calendar app.

Can I send an add to calendar link by text?

Yes. The tool writes a short text with the date and a Google Calendar link. Calendar links are long, so expect the message to take two texts.

Do time zones work?

Yes. Pick the time zone where the event happens. People in other time zones see it at the right local time.

Can I make a recurring event?

Yes. Choose daily, weekly, every two weeks, monthly or yearly, and how many times. Repeats carry over to Google Calendar and the .ics file. Outlook and Yahoo links add the first event only.

Is this add to calendar generator free?

Yes. No sign-up, no limits, and no watermark on your links. Your event details stay in your browser.
