How to create an Add to Calendar link for your event

Last updated August 12, 2026

Creating an Add to Calendar link takes about two minutes with AddEvent. The link lets anyone save your event to Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook, or Yahoo with a single click.

Step-by-step

  1. Go to addevent.com and sign up (free)
  2. Click Create Event and fill in your event details: title, date, time, timezone, location, and description
  3. Click Save - AddEvent generates your event automatically
  4. Go to the Sharing tab
  5. Copy the Add to Calendar link - a single URL that works for all calendar platforms

What the link does

When someone clicks your Add to Calendar link, they see a picker with all major calendar options. They select their preferred app and the event is added in seconds. No account, no download, no friction.

Where to use it

  • Email campaigns - paste as a hyperlink or CTA button in any email platform
  • Social media - share in captions or link-in-bio
  • Your website - add as a text link or styled button
  • SMS and messaging apps - paste the URL directly
  • QR code - AddEvent generates a QR code pointing to your event landing page

Platform-specific links

AddEvent also generates individual links for each calendar platform - a Google Calendar-specific URL, an Outlook.com URL, and so on. Use these if you want to give your audience platform-specific buttons side by side.

Updating the link after sharing

If your event details change after you have shared the link, update the event in AddEvent. The same link URL continues to work but now carries the updated details. No need to re-share or send a correction.
