Create a Calendar

This help doc explains how to create a calendar in your AddEvent dashboard. Each calendar can contain multiple events and can be followed by your users through a subscription calendar.

Creating a calendar

  1. To create a calendar, start on the dashboard, click the Create button on the upper left side of the dashboard, and select Calendar.

Customizing your calendar

The following section outlines the customizable fields on the Calendar Creation Page. It is important to give your attendees and subscribers clear and essential details related to the event so they can stay informed.

Title of your calendar

Enter the title of the calendar; this is the calendar title your users will see when they add it to their calendars. The best titles are brief and informative.

Internal name of your calendar

Only you and your other account users (admin and editors) will see the internal name of the calendar. This is meant to help with internal organization, for instance, if you have many different calendars with similar or identical titles.

Description box

This is the description of your calendar that users will see when you share this calendar’s unique landing page with them.

Timezone

This will be the default timezone for events added to this calendar. If unsure of the appropriate timezone, click the timezone box and search based on location.

📘

The time zone you select is only the default for new events. Events can be changed to any timezone and a single calendar can contain events with different timezones.

Calendar subscribers

When you share a calendar with your users, you can either allow them to subscribe to your calendar anonymously or collect information from them via a form they are presented with before they can subscribe. To collect subscriber information, click here for instructions.


Once you have created a calendar, you can now create events that allow you to share with your users and get those events onto their calendars. Click here for instructions on how to create an event.
