New Widget Request: Add to Calendar

I love your widgets. I have yet to find a “nice” user friendly solution to add a “Add to Calendar” button to my website. I feel like Elfsight could master this!

+1 on an add to Calendar widget.

I run a lot of free marketing events to add prospects to my sales funnel. When someone successfully registers for my event, I’d like the confirmation page to have a button where they can add the event (with details on how to join a Zoom meeting) to their Google, iCloud, Microsoft Outlook, etc. calendar.

I want people to be able to add an event they registered for such as a FREE masterclass or challenge to their calendar. ADDEVENT allows you to do this but it’s super expensive at $39/ month when I only run this once or twice a year.

I’d love to see an Add-to-Calendar widget designed specifically for email use, not just websites. Right now, tools like AddEvent offer universal calendar buttons that work great in email campaigns and confirmations. It would be incredibly helpful if Elfsight had something similar that generated calendar links or embeddable buttons for Gmail, Outlook, iCal, etc.

Is this something on your roadmap—or could it be?

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

Would you like to display only the Add to Calendar button or the event as well?

The button and the event details when it’s added to the calendar—and the ability to update the event info in real time to update dynamically

Got it, thanks!

We already have this idea on the Wishlist, and I’ve merged your comment with it. If this request gets more votes, it might be considered in the future :slightly_smiling_face:

Currently, it’s impossible to add our widgets to emails, but a request for this functionality is also on the Wishlist. Feel free to upvote it - Install a widget to an email
