We currently use a google form and manually import them. It would be nice to have one with approval to post.

Would love to be able to have my members (7,800 members) submit a calendar event that would auto populate information and send me a notice to review and approve without having to enter all the info myself.

would need to be something we can select required information in order for event to be submitted.

It would be a great solution if clients of my company could add events themselves without needing me.

This would be a game changer for me! Currently having to use third party software to gather my squarespace form submissions, pull the data into a google calendar that then gets pulled into this plugin. it would save a huge amount of dodgy workarounds to keep my website running as intended!

you can use zapier to pull the data from the google form into a google calendar that then feeds into this plugin.

Yes! Please! That would be so helpful. To add them automatically would be fantastic, but eveen just a “Submit Your Event” button would be very helpful. Responses could be emailed with the understanding the submission has to be approved first.

Looking forward to seeing this come to be, we’ve currently removed events from our website due to the demand on time to keep them updated. Is there a guide on a delivery date of changes to the current calendar to allow user submissions / approvals via the admin?

To add further it would be good if the admin was able to set what was mandatory to have in a submission, for example images, times, dates and description.

@Kristi_Kirk_Trent, @Phil Thanks a lot for your comments!

I also love the “Submit Event” idea, but I’m afraid we don’t have any updates about this request right now :disappointed_face:

This widget is quite complex itself and almost all improvements require lots of work to make everything work smoothly. Right now we’re working on 9 other features for the Event Calendar widget: Topics tagged In-Progress, but maybe this request will be included on one of the next roadmap.

We’ll make sure to update you here as soon as we have any news :blush:
