Collect Information from Calendar Subscribers

Subscribing Anonymously

Subscribers can add your calendar to their own without providing any personal information. To allow anonymous subscriptions, you don’t need to adjust any settings. Here’s how it works:

1. When users click on the calendar link, they are directed to a calendar landing page. This page shows the calendar name, description, and a list of upcoming events.
2. Subscribers click the Add to Calendar button, choose their calendar service, and subscribe without entering any details..

📘

Sharing a calendar through “Add to Calendar” links takes subscribers directly to their selected calendar service. If you want subscribers to visit the calendar landing page first, use the calendar landing page link.

Collecting Information from Subscribers

To collect subscriber information, enable the setting through your calendar's edit page. Follow these steps to access the edit page:

From the Dashboard:

1. Hover over the calendar you want to edit in the dashboard.
2. Click the three dots to the right of your selected calendar and then click Edit calendar.
