How to share a calendar event link

Last updated August 12, 2026

Sharing a calendar event link lets anyone add your event to their personal Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook, or Yahoo in one click - no email address required, no calendar invite needed.

The fastest way: AddEvent

  1. Create your event at addevent.com (free to start)
  2. Go to Sharing and copy the Add to Calendar link
  3. Share that link anywhere - email, social media, text, website, QR code
Anyone who clicks it sees a picker to choose their calendar app. The event is added in seconds.

What to include in the link

The Add to Calendar link from AddEvent encodes your event title, date, time, location, description, and time zone. Recipients get a fully formed calendar entry with all the details - they do not need to fill anything in.

Where to share it

  • Email campaigns - paste it as a hyperlink or button in Mailchimp, HubSpot, or any email platform
  • Social media - include it in the caption of your event announcement post or in your link-in-bio
  • Your website - embed it as a button on your event page
  • Text or messaging - paste the URL directly into SMS or WhatsApp
  • Printed materials - generate a QR code from AddEvent that links to your event landing page

Link vs. button

An Add to Calendar link is a plain URL - best for email text and social posts. An Add to Calendar button is an embeddable widget - best for website pages. AddEvent generates both from the same event.

Keeping the link up to date

If your event details change after you have already shared the link, update the event in AddEvent. The link stays the same but now points to the updated details - no need to re-share.
