Embeddable Calendar

This help doc provides information about the Embeddable Calendar and explains how to embed it on your website. An embeddable calendar allows you to showcase all your upcoming events on your website in a simple and visually appealing way. It helps increase event visibility, engage your users, and allows them to easily interact with the calendar by adding events to their own calendars. You can embed the calendar on your website for different purposes, such as sharing class schedules, promotional events, webinars, and more. AddEvent’s embeddable calendars integrate quickly and seamlessly with your website. If you use a website builder like Wix, Squarespace, WordPress, Weebly, Leadpages, or Jimdo, we’ve got you covered – our embeddable calendar will work perfectly there too.

Embed Options

Embed Code (Default)

This is the most common method. It works well with most website builders and HTML embedding tools. When you use this code:

  • The calendar automatically resizes based on your webpage content, including mobile devices.
  • It allows users to click outside of the calendar to hide popups and dropdowns.

URL/Link to the Embeddable Calendar

If your website doesn’t support embedding custom code, you can use this option. It provides a simple URL to embed the calendar into an iframe. This is often used on platforms that allow linking but not custom HTML, like certain landing page builders.

Embed as an iFrame

This option allows you to embed the calendar directly using an iframe, which is ideal for platforms like Microsoft SharePoint.
