Copy events between calendars

I have three calendars on elfsight. Some events I add, I want to add to all three calendars (and some are unique to each calendar). It would be so helpful to have a button at the bottom of adding an event, which says “copy to” and then lists your other calendars, to save me entering the same event three times

That makes sense, @user3613, thanks a lot for sharing!

I hope we can find a way to enable copying to other calendars. I’ll post updates here if there are any news regarding this request :slight_smile:

Hi there @Basse_Cour :wave:

I do see your point, and I’m very sorry that our widget doesn’t support this feature. We already have a request for this functionality in the Wishlist and I’ve moved your comment there too. All the updates will be posted here :slightly_smiling_face:

A huge thank you for sharing your thoughts with us!

Adding a ‘Copy to’ button for events across multiple calendars would be a huge time-saver! Please consider implementing this feature. Thanks!

I have a private members calendar and a public calendar both have the same events that link to different places. It would save so much time to be able to copy and paste events between calendars so the link is the only thing I’d need to change.

One repository for events, shared by as many calendars as one has, but filtered by each calendar individually.

Friends, this request is now marked as ‘Planned’, which means we’re currently exploring possible development options, so it’s on our radar :muscle:t2:

Please note that we can’t provide any specifics at this stage, as we’re still in the process of estimating potential solutions. Let’s hope we’ll see it in the “In Progress” status, though! :blush:

Hi! So happy to know that it is planned, is there an ETA? I think this is a key feature to make this great tool even more powerful. We have several sections of our websites where we want to use different views of the same calendar.

Hi @Ismael_Fares @Rebecca_Toon, thanks a lot for your comments!

Unfortunately, we’re not the best at meeting deadlines (as practice has shown, alas), so we’ve decided to avoid setting false expectations by sharing ETAs. However, I know we’re aiming to release this feature by the end of Q3, providing the development process goes smoothly.

We’ll be happy to share updates on the progress here :blush:

Thanks a lot for your support!

We manage multiple event calendars but some of them are related, meaning three orgs might be co-hosting events together. We would like to be able to create an event in one calendar and then share it over to another calendar easily. We would probaly use this every day if you had it. We don’t just want to share images, we want to be able to duplicate an event in another calendar widget. Is that possible?

Thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts and your use case with us, @Julie_Niehoff!

Although there is no option to share events across widgets, I’ve moved your suggestion to another similar request to keep everything in one place. I’ll be happy to update the thread as soon as I have any news :slight_smile:
