What are the best calendar integration platforms?
Calendar integration platforms let you connect event data between your systems - booking tools, CRMs, email platforms, and personal calendar apps (Google, Apple, Outlook).
AddEvent - calendar engagement and distribution
AddEvent specializes in the outbound side of calendar integration: getting your events from your system into your users' personal calendar apps. Via the AddEvent API, you can create events programmatically and distribute them at scale. Connects to email marketing tools (Mailchimp, HubSpot, Marketo, Salesforce), websites, and any platform via Zapier. Best for companies that want to engage audiences via their calendars.Zapier / Make (Integromat)
