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.
