  • 1.  Add to Calendar Widget

    Posted 10 days ago

    We have a virtual series (April-September) with 11 sessions.  I added the 'add to calendar' widget, however, not all attendees will select all the sessions (i.e. two or three).  When they want to add the session(s) to their calendar, it's blocking out their entire calendar from April-September based on the dates set-up on the Event Information page.

    I understand that there is no workaround for this.  So would like to send a note to the Product team to have a look at this.  I am now removing this widget, as it doesn't provide the functionality needed for multiple session tied to event.

    If someone has a workaround or suggestion, please let me know.

    Thx...Carmen

    You can do an Add to Calendar in their confirmation emails that is for the sessions that they registered for. This is through the My Agenda widget:

    display the "Add to Calendar" link for all sessions. By inserting the My Agenda widget, you can choose to display the session calendar download for all sessions listed in the widget. Click Design Email.

    Click Build to the right of the canvas, then, in the Visuals section, drag and drop My Agenda onto the canvas. Additional settings will appear to the right. In the Configuration Options section, ensure "Display Session Calendar Download" is toggled to blue. Then, enter the label text for the Add to Calendar link. If no custom text is entered, it will default to "Add to Calendar."

    here is the link to this article that shows how to do add to calendar for sessions: https://support.cvent.com/s/communityarticle/Inserting-an-Add-to-Calendar-Link-in-Your-Event
