How Users Subscribe to a Calendar

When users click the link corresponding to their preferred calendar service, they will be redirected to that service with an option to subscribe to (or follow) your calendar. Here are two options for handling calendar subscribers:

  • Anonymous Subscribers: If you enable anonymous subscribers, users are sent directly to their calendar service to add the events. They won’t need to provide any information.
  • Collect Subscriber Information: If you prefer to gather subscriber information, users will first be redirected to a calendar landing page. Here, they’ll be prompted to provide details (like name or email) before they can subscribe. For more details on collecting subscriber information, click here.

You might wonder, “Why use add to calendar links in emails instead of the add to calendar button I can place on my website?” The answer is simple: add to calendar buttons use JavaScript, which is not allowed in emails for security reasons. Using add to calendar links ensures compatibility with all email services and allows users to easily add events without any technical issues.
