How the calendar button works
The calendar button detects the visitor's OS and preferred calendar app and routes to:
- Google Calendar (web)
- Apple Calendar (macOS, iOS, iPadOS — via
.ics) - Microsoft Outlook (desktop or web)
- Office 365 Calendar
- Yahoo Calendar
Behind the scenes we generate an iCalendar (.ics) entry or a deep link with all event data: title, description, location/URL, start, end, time zone, reminder offset.
What the visitor sees
Depending on embed style:
- Button — click opens a calendar chooser
- Dropdown — direct choice, no extra step
- Link — plain text link
- Email link — compatible with all email clients
No sign-up required
Visitors do not need a SpreadEvent account. The button works without RSVP — in that case only the calendar entry is created.
