Hi, I’m trying to add a save the calendar button to my website. Exactly like in this link. Free Add to Calendar Button - AddEvent When I copy and past the code it won’t work on my site. I just keep getting a lot of error messages. Hoping someone can help.

Thanks,
Kayla

Hi Roi,
I’m trying to follow the instructions on Free Add to Calendar Button - AddEvent but can’t get my head wrapped around where to put the button code.
If I copy it to the code section on the page, I get errors. If I put an iframe, it doesn’t look like a button.

I’m probably missing something… Any help would be greatly appreciated :slight_smile:

Thanks!

I have done it for google calendar only, using an element (such as a button or any other element which can be associated to an hyperlink) and linking to a string like this https://www.google.com/calendar/event?action=TEMPLATE&dates=20231112T1830%2F20231112T1925&text=Event_Name&location=Location_for_the_event&details=Details_of_the_event.
Outlook calendars use .ics files but I haven’t investigated further. Please note that with this approach every calendar type needs a separate button. Available services for “add to calendar” can use a single button which presents a list of available calendar types. I haven’t tried any of them yet
