Creating Events

To create an event, navigate to the Dashboard on AddEvent.com, click Create, and select Event. You will be taken to an event creation page where you can add all of your event details. Or, you can click directly on the calendar date, and a pop-up will appear allowing you to enter event details.

Creating Calendars

To create a calendar, navigate to the Dashboard on https://dashboard.addevent.com/, click Create, and select Calendar. You will be taken to a calendar creation page on which you will be able to add all of your calendar details.

    3. Custom date range
  2. Calendar View

Designs

Design templates are a way to create a reusable design for calendar landing pages, event landing pages, and embeddable calendars. These design templates include WYSIWYG (no-code) editing functionality. Check out more details about designs for calendar landing pages here, for event landing pages here, or embeddable calendars here.

RSVP Forms

RSVP forms are able to be created and reused to collect specific information from your event registrants.

Analytics

View real-time analytics on events, calendars, Automated Add to Calendar links, and Automated Add to Calendar buttons.

Account Settings

Account settings can be found under the account drop-down menu. Within the settings, you will find:

  • You account info
  • Billings
  • Domains
  • Users
  • Settings
  • Usage

Clicking into the Account section takes you to Profile information, Account information, Membership and billing, and Payment history.

Your Info

In the Your Info tab, you will find your login details (name, email, and password) can be updated here.

Billing

In the Billing tab, you will find your plan type and billing details. Payments are also accessible and changeable in this section.

Domains

To use an Add to Calendar button on your website, you will need to license (or “whitelist”) the domain on which you wish to use the button. Licensing the domain will allow the button to work on that domain and will allow us to collect usage data for that button. If you fail to license the domain, the button will not work, and you will receive an error message.

In the Domains tab, add a domain here to use the Automated Add to Calendar button on that domain. If you do not add a domain here, the Automated Add to Calendar button will not work and your users will see an error message.

Users

In the Users tab, you can invite users in your organization to join the AddEvent account. There are three different types of roles available: Admin, Editor, and User. Admins have full access to all functionality on AddEvent. Editors have full access except for billing, account management, and user management. Users can create and manage calendars and events but can't create and make changes to templates and RSVP forms.

Settings

In the Settings tab you will find account info, date and time settings, branding setting, color palette setting, sender name and email address setting, and data capture configuration setting.

Usage

In the Usage tab, you will find your account's basic usage stats.
