External Calendar Sync is now available on all plans

In an effort to make your event and calendar management as seamless as possible, we’ve recently unlocked External Calendar Sync for everyone — including users on a Hobby plan. Previously, this feature was only available on paid plans, but it’s now readily available for anyone to use.

New: “Manual Import” option for Subscription Calendars

When your audience subscribes to a calendar, we want to make sure it’s a smooth and frictionless experience, which is why we’ve added a Manual Import option for subscription calendar flows.

Sometimes, when subscribing to a calendar, the automatic redirect doesn’t work as expected. This can happen in various instances, particularly when dealing with Outlook, Yahoo Calendar, and Apple Calendars. Now, if a subscription doesn’t import correctly the first time, your users will see an “Import manually” button on the confirmation page. Clicking it opens a step-by-step guide tailored to their chosen calendar platform, making it easier to complete the subscription without any frustration.

Updated: Default Page Titles for Event & Calendar Landing Pages

We want your event and calendars to be front and center with your audience, so we’ve added the event or calendar title to the page title that appears in the browser tab. This will improve visibility for your events and calendars when they are bookmarked.

Still want to customize your page titles manually? No problem! Use a custom template!

As part of our ongoing commitment to platform security and data integrity, we've added Google reCAPTCHA to RSVP forms on event landing pages. This helps prevent bots from submitting large volumes of responses in a short time.

reCAPTCHA runs silently in the background — attendees may see a small badge, but the form experience remains seamless.

No action is required on your part.

As always, we're working to make your AddEvent experience as secure, reliable, and seamless as possible.

At AddEvent, we’re committed to making our tools usable, accessible, and inclusive for everyone. As part of this commitment, we’ve updated all front-end facing tools to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA standards.

Front-end facing tools include:

• Event Landing Pages
• RSVP Landing Pages
• Embeddable Event & RSVP Forms
• Calendar Landing Pages
• Embeddable Calendars

These updates ensure users with visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive impairments can more effectively navigate and engage with our platform.

What’s included in this update:

• Improved keyboard navigation across all interactive elements
• Enhanced focus states and contrast ratios for better visibility
• Semantic HTML structure to support screen readers
• Accessible form labels, inputs, and error messages
• Compliance with success criteria up to WCAG 2.2 Level AA

Why this is important:

The European Accessibility Act (EAA) took effect on June 28, 2025, requiring compliance for digital services in the EU across industries like travel, banking, and e-commerce.

While WCAG 2.2 AA is not yet a universal requirement, it is considered the next-generation standard — and is likely to be mandated under updated regulations like EN 301 549. For some institutions (such as universities and public sector organizations), WCAG compliance is already essential for vendor approval.

Accessibility is no longer just a best practice — it’s a legal standard and a key part of creating trustworthy, user-centered digital experiences. If you encounter any accessibility issues or have feedback, please contact our support team.
