What to Expect with AddEvent 2.0

New Navigation Experience

We’ve redesigned navigation in AddEvent 2.0 to make it faster and easier to find what you need.

From Top to the Left-Hand Side of the Screen

In AddEvent 1.0, navigation lived at the top of the screen. In 2.0, it’s been moved to the left-hand side, giving you more space to work while keeping key features within easy reach.

Quick Access Navigation

At the top of the new navigation bar, you’ll see four tabs that provide direct access to the most-used areas of AddEvent:

Dashboard: Manage your calendars and events
Design Templates: Add your branding to your event landing pages, calendar landing pages, and embeddable calendar with no-code design templates
RSVP Forms: Build and manage RSVP forms and automated emails notifications for RSVP events
Real-Time Analytics: Track calendar and event performance in real-time

New Menu

At the bottom of the navigation bar, you’ll find a streamlined menu with everything else you might need including links to product updates, help docs, API docs, as well as links to contact support and to manage your account & billing related questions.

AddEvent 2.0 Dashboard

Here are some new (or moved) things you’ll find in your AddEvent 2.0 dashboard.

Calendars

View events on multiple calendars at a time.
Easily discover and share calendars via the public calendar landing page’s quick links.
Easily view the number of events and subscribers on each calendar at a glance.
Custom color palettes are now available for calendars and their events and can be set at the account level in Settings.
You’ll find additional sorting of your calendars in the dashboard.
You may also notice a refreshed monthly view design, as well as a new weekly view option.

Events

You’ll also notice updated icons and labels for recurring events, series, and RSVP events.

Quick Create

Create events even faster in the dashboard with new fields available such as timezone, description, and location.

Event Modals & Event Details Page

To open the event details page, you can click on the event name.

In the event modal on the dashboard, you’ll see a link to the public event landing page, as well as three menu items to Edit, Duplicate, or Delete the event.

And quick access to the public calendar landing page links are now only a click away.

List View

AddEvent 2.0 has combined the Schedule and All events views into one view: List view.

List view lets you easily show:

Upcoming or past events
Events from any particular month
You can now set a custom date range to view events

Calendars & Subscribers

Calendars are one of AddEvent’s most powerful features, and in 2.0, they’re even easier to discover and use.

Calendar Creation & Calendar Details Page

Clicking on a calendar name in the dashboard will open its dedicated calendar details page, where you can immediately see sharing options.

While creating and editing calendars is similar in AddEvent 1.0, there’s now a more prominent option to turn on collecting Subscriber info in the right-hand sidebar.

Analytics are located right below the subscriber section on the calendar details page and clicking into it provides direct access to a calendar’s detailed analytics, removing the need to open the Analytics tab and then select your calendar.

Passwords for the calendar’s public landing page and embeddable calendar are now located in the top-right corner.

You can now include a calendar image on your calendar landing page.

Calendar Descriptions

Calendar descriptions have received formatting updates:

Unsupported formatting will now be stripped from content pasted into the calendar description.
Text color and highlighting have been removed as formatting options.

Calendar Details Page & Sharing

Collecting custom subscriber information has changed slightly in 2.0. First, type your question/field label, and then choose the field type.
There are also icons for each field type, and some of the field types have new names to make them easier to understand, such as Dropdown and Radio buttons where you can only select one option.
Questions can also be optional if you don’t select Mandatory to fill out when you create a new question.

Color Palettes

Color palettes are now set at the account level in the Account Settings section instead of at the calendar level.
You can still apply a color to your calendar when you create or edit your calendar. By default, events on this calendar will be created with the same color.

External Calendar Sync

Syncing external calendars into AddEvent has been moved. Previously, you would sync your external calendar on the calendar edit page. Now, you will set this up on the calendar details page.
The external calendar feed must be provided in a valid .ics format, and the feed must be accessible via a publicly accessible URL the user provides.
You can find the + Sync external calendar section once the calendar is created on the calendar details page.

Public Landing Page

You will now see a preview of your public landing page on the calendar details page. To change the Design Template for your public landing page, click the dropdown and select the Design Template you previously created. Once you have selected your Design Template, it will automatically save.
- If you have not yet created a custom Design Template, you can click Customize design or head to the Designs tab.

Sharing Methods

Collapsible tiles: Sharing methods for calendars are now organized into collapsible tiles, making them easier to find and access.

Embeddable Calendar

The Quick Customize option has been removed, as the new no-code Design Templates editor provides more functionality.

Creating & Editing Events

Event images are now available when you create a new event!
This image will display at the top of the event’s public landing page and within the events list on a calendar landing page (if your design template is set to show it).

Setting up RSVP Events

You may notice the Enable RSVP tab is now available on the right-hand side when you are creating or editing an event.

RSVP settings have also moved to a dedicated tab on the event create/edit page (instead of the event details page).

You can now see a preview of the RSVP settings on the sidebar tile, which also carries over to the event details page.
To change an event from an RSVP event to a standard event, you can Disable RSVPs by going to the bottom of the RSVP settings page.

Event Sharing Page

Passwords for the public event landing page and embeddable event are now located in the top-right corner.
You will now see a preview of your public landing page on the event details page. To change the Design Template for your public landing page, click the dropdown and select the Design Template you previously created. Once you have selected your Design Template, it will automatically save.
- If you have not yet created a custom Design Template, you can click Customize design or head to the Designs tab.
Sharing methods are now organized into collapsible tiles, making them easier to access.

RSVP Attendees

RSVP attendees are no longer shown directly on the event details page. Instead, they are listed on a dedicated Attendees page. You can also easily jump into RSVP analytics from the RSVP attendees tile.

Sending updates to RSVP attendees is now easier and more prominent, with a built-in WYSIWYG editor for customizing messages. To send one-off emails to your RSVP attendees, click into the RSVP attendees page and then select Email Attendees.

Design Templates Tab

Design Templates are the new and improved way to create and customize visual templates for:

Event landing pages
Calendar landing pages
Embeddable calendars

They’re completely no-code, so you don’t need any technical experience to use them. This is AddEvent’s most powerful customization feature yet, bringing design flexibility to all users.

Browsing & Selecting Templates

When viewing a list of templates, each one now includes a live preview — making it easier to pick the right template without guessing or needing to remember specific template names.
Previews are also available when selecting templates in the sharing sections for events or calendars.

Managing Templates

From the design template list, you can:

Edit an existing template
Duplicate a template to reuse its style
Delete templates you no longer need

Advanced Customization Option

While the old code editor has been retired, don’t worry — you can still add custom code to your event and calendar landing pages, as well as your embeddable calendar. This is now done through the Advanced Customization tab, giving you full control over the look and functionality of your pages for Pro and Enterprise plans.

AddEvent 1.0 Custom HTML Design Templates

Custom HTML templates cannot be edited in AddEvent 2.0. You can still apply your existing templates, but you will need to recreate old custom HTML templates created in AddEvent 1.0 using the no-code editor via design templates if you want to make changes to existing designs.

RSVP Forms Tab

RSVPs and RSVP forms are now no-code, more prominent, and easier to access than ever.

Using Existing RSVP Forms

The forms themselves work much the same as before, so any RSVP forms you created previously will still function in AddEvent 2.0. You’ll be able to view, select, and edit them without losing your existing setup.

Creating & Editing RSVP Forms

When creating or editing a form, you’ll notice new tabs at the top of the page. These split the form into sections, making it easier to navigate and highlighting functionality that might have been less visible before.

And now the entire form saves at once when you’re finished, rather than saving each question or email individually.

RSVP Emails

Each email is now in an expandable tile, so you can view all emails at once, quickly enable/disable them, and set timers for confirmations and reminders.

Emails now include a WYSIWYG editor so you can preview emails as you edit, format text and images with a simple toolbar, and do so much more.

Advanced users can still use the HTML editor if desired, but the new WYSIWYG experience makes managing emails accessible for all!

Analytics Tab

Explore the analytics tab to get a full understanding of how your events and calendars are performing in real-time. You can access analytics directly from an event or calendar details page.

Analytics Overview

The account overview shows recent usage for your account, focusing on the last 30 days.
When you click into the event or calendar analytics pages, you can select the exact event or calendar you want to see more detailed information about, including a graph.

Account & Settings

Here’s what’s new or updated in your account settings section:

Single Access Point: Everything about your account (settings, billing, users) can now be accessed from one menu.
Tabbed Navigation: User info, account details, and billing each have their own tab for a cleaner, more organized experience.

Your Info: Updates to your email, name, or login now apply across all accounts you access.
Billing: Manage billing info directly via Stripe.
Users: Pending invites appear in the same list as active users, and you can search for users easily.
Settings: All settings combined in one tab, including account info, API tokens, sender email validation, and color palettes for events and calendars.
Usage: Usage tracking now has clearer links and selectors for events, calendars, buttons, and links, making it easier to monitor activity against plan limits.
