How to add an Add to Calendar button to Thinkific
Adding an Add to Calendar link to Thinkific lets your students save live sessions, office hours, and course events directly to their calendars.
Step-by-step
- In your AddEvent dashboard, open your event and go to Sharing
- Copy the Add to Calendar link or Button embed code
- In Thinkific, open the lesson or page where you want to add the link. Use a Text lesson (switch to HTML view) or an HTML block and paste the button embed code, or add a hyperlink in normal text view
- Students click and add the event to their calendar
Thinkific tips
For live cohort sessions, add the Add to Calendar button to the lesson introduction so students block the time immediately. For a recurring series (weekly Q&A, monthly masterclass), use an AddEvent subscription calendar - students subscribe once and every session automatically appears in their calendar. Include AddEvent links in Thinkific custom email templates for extra reach.
