What You Can Edit on a Calendar

Once you’re on the editing page, you can modify various settings for the calendar. Below is an overview of the available options.

Importing/Syncing with External Calendars

After creating a calendar and clicking Save, you can import events from external calendars. This allows you to keep your AddEvent calendar updated with events from other platforms.

To sync with an external calendar:

1. Click Add external calendar on the editing page.
2. When prompted, paste the URL of the external calendar you want to link. This URL must be in iCalendar (.ics) format.
3. Once added, events from the external calendar will sync to your AddEvent calendar every 12 hours. These events will be visible to your subscribers, but they will not be editable within AddEvent.

📘

Only iCalendar (.ics) URLs are supported for syncing. Ensure that your URL meets this format.

Configuring Subscriber Information Collection

When sharing your calendar, you can choose to collect subscriber information. By default, users can subscribe anonymously, but if you want to collect details (such as name or email), follow these steps:

1. On the Edit page, check the box labeled I would like to know to enable information collection.
2. Customize the form by adding fields such as Name and Email. You can add unlimited custom fields by specifying the field name and input type (e.g., text, number, date).
3. Make fields mandatory by checking the box next to each field name. Leave fields unchecked if they are optional.

Required Data Collection

AddEvent automatically collects the following data when available, to comply with data regulations such as GDPR:

• IP Address
• City
• Postal Code
• State
• Country
• GEO Location (latitude, longitude)

This data collection is mandatory and cannot be disabled.

Reminder: Keep information collection forms simple to increase subscription rates and maintain user experience.
