How to Create a Recurring Event

Create a new event or select the event you want to edit.
Select the dropdown that says "single event" to see the list of event types and select recurring event.
To choose how often the event will repeat, click the up and down arrows in the gray box to increase or decrease the repeat frequency. Alternatively, highlight the number and type in the number of the repeat frequency.
Click on the down arrow in the next box to select the cycle in which your events repeat (i.e., daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly).
Click on each circle corresponding to the day of the week the event will recur. Select one day, all days, or anywhere in between.
To select when the recurring event ends, choose between Never, After, or On date. After refers to ending the event after a specified number of occurrences. On date allows you to choose a specific date the recurring event will end.

Once you click the Create button on the Event Creation page, you will be able to share the recurring event with your users. When an attendee adds the recurring event to their calendar, it will add every event that recurs, from the start date to the end date. This is because a recurring event is one event that occurs multiple times.

🚧
Note: If the start and end dates for the recurring event differ from the dates entered in the date and time field, the initial dates will be overruled, and the dates specified for the recurring events will be used.

Sharing a Recurring Event

When an attendee adds a recurring event to their calendar, all of the event's instances will be included, past and upcoming. This is due to how calendar services handle recurring events.

If you'd like to share a single instance of a recurring event, such as the next upcoming event date, you can do so by following the steps here in this help doc: Render a Recurring Event as a Single Occurrence. Please note that sharing a single instance of a recurring event can only be done with non-RSVP events.

Additional Notes

If you want to create a large number of events at once but have them treated as individual events, check out our help doc which explains the difference between a recurring event and an event series.
Recurring rules are supported by Apple, Google, Office365, Outlook, and Outlook.com. If you want to support Yahoo Calendar as well, we recommend that you create multiple events (e.g. a series of events) and share the calendar instead.
With older recurring events set with a start date that occurs long in the past, you may find that when adding the recurring event to your external calendar, the time of the event is off. If you edit the recurring event in AddEvent to have a more recent start date (e.g. within the current year), this should allow you to re-add the recurring event to your external calendar with the correct event timeframe.
Individual event dates within a recurring event can not be deleted or edited to occur on a different date. The entire recurring event will need to be deleted and recreated. To avoid this in the future, you can consider creating an event series where individual dates can be edited/deleted.
