Alternative to AddEvent?

Hey Elfsight Community!
Please forgive me for what may seem like a bit of a “rookie” question to some. I’m trying to find an alternative to AddEvent and am curious to know if either the Appointment Booking or Event Calendar apps can support the same functionality that AddEvent offers. I’ve taken a look directly at these apps, and while I haven’t found what I’m looking for, I’m also aware that I may be missing/overlooking something.
Thank you in advance!

Hi there and welcome to the Community, @Katrina80 :waving_hand:

You’d like to let your clients add events/appointments to their calendars, right?

If so, the Add to Calendar button is available in the event popup:

In the Appointment Booking widget, the Add to Calendar button appears right after booking:


Please let me know if this explains things or if you have any questions left :slightly_smiling_face:

Hey @Max !
Thank you for your fabulous response. This is great info.
My deeper question is whether or not there’s a way to have someone ‘subscribe’ to a group of appointments? (this is where AddEvent really excels). For example, if I offer a workshop series of 4 calls that someone can opt-in to, I can send them a link to my AddEvent Calendar that allows them to put all 4 calls in their calendar at once by ‘subscribing’ to that calendar or individually adding each one from that schedule page.
Is that something I can achieve with an Elfsight App?

Hi there, @Katrina80 :waving_hand:

Unfortunately, there is no way to let users subscribe to the whole calendar, but this request is already on the Wishlist. Feel free to upvote this idea :slightly_smiling_face: - Event Calendar Subscription

Thank you so much, @Max!
I tried searching for a similar request yesterday before posting but wasn’t able to find anything that I thought was similar enough or referenced the comparison to AddEvent. I’m glad to see that there’s already something in the Wishlist of this nature. I’ve just upvoted that request and greatly appreciate you sharing it with me. :slight_smile:
