Friends, many of you have asked for a way to let website visitors submit events to your Event Calendar widget . While this is not supported out of the box yet, our awesome devs came with a great solution: visitors submit events via Form Builder you approve them in Google Sheets approved eve…

@Max would it be possible to have the form in the list of available forms - so it is one less step to do?

Hi @Phil :waving_hand: Yep, we can share a link to the Form containing all the needed fields, but in this case you can just use it as a reference, which I guess won’t save you much time. The good news is that we can duplicate the same form to your account and then you’ll be able to customize it th…

I have done it now @Max I am on the next stage, but can’t get past that part. The apps script side of it, it keeps failing. Have a Google Calendar created and Google Sheet, but the other part, I am struggling with. I’ll keep trying tonight.

If the scripts still fail, please send me a link with the access to your spreadsheet in a personal message. For this, click on the Share button in your spreadsheet and copy a link from the dropdown: [image] We’ll be happy to look into this :wink:

I like this idea, but with Google Calendar as the intermediary are you limited to only the event parameters that can be passed through Google Calendar? We need to leverage the full set of parameters available in the Elfsight Event Calendar widget itself.

First, it is setting the time as GMT so when imported to Google Calendar it is 5 hours back as we are NYT. Second, it does not seem to be repeating. What is the synt…

Hi there, @Connect_Downtown_Joh :waving_hand: Thank you for questions! I’ll discuss with the devs if it’s possible to submit recurring events. I’ll update you once I have their response :slightly_smiling_face: As for the time zone, please make sure the correct time zone is selected in your Google…

Changing the timezone on the spreadsheet corrected it going forward! When the Elfsight Form generated the Google Sheets it set it to GMT. Thanks for the quick reply!

Great, you’re very welcome! Regarding recurring events, unfortunately, with this workaround, it’s not possible to submit them. I’m really sorry about that! If you have any questions left, I’ll be happy to help :slightly_smiling_face:
