How-to Add to calendar

Project Showcase
1

I know many of us are looking for a way to add events from Glideapps to our calendars.
I found out this tool, that linked to the template column in the Glideapps data editor, allows us to create events that the users can add to their calendar.

<!--
The "Direct URL Method" is an "Add to Calendar" link - a link with
parameters to generate an event on-the-fly. Direct your users to an
event landing page or have them end up directly in their calendar.
It can be used virtually anywhere. We recommend it for emails.
--></em>

Add to Calendar:
<a href="https://www.addevent.com/dir/?client= *CLIENT* &start= *start* &end= *end* &title= *title* &timezone= *timezone* &service= *apple* ">Apple</a>
<a href="https://www.addevent.com/dir/?client= *CLIENT* &start= *start* &end= *end* &title= *title* &timezone= *timezone* &service= *google* ">Google</a>

They even connect to Zapier, so I’m guessing you can do a lot of cool stuff with these.

Do you use the free or the paid version of this service?

Actually, I will set up the paid version for one of my customers.

Hi Jesus,

You most likely would be able to use our “Add to Calendar” button with your installs. That method can be used by free accounts.

The “Direct URL Method” which you are referring too requires a trial or paid plan. Happy to provide you with a trial in case needed. Just reach out to support@addevent.com.

Have a great day!

Hi @Michael_Nilsson . Thanks for reaching out!
I’ll def send you an email, I want to implement your product for one of my customers and having a trial version to show them how this works would be ideal.

Is this the method most people are using ATM? And do you have to add the event through addevents and not your Google Sheet?

Hi,
Is this method beyond the “no code” policy of Glide Apps? Cause it seems like coding to me… :grinning:. I don’t see any function in Glide that does this, so is this the only way to add an event to the users’ Google/Outlook Calendar? If so, is there any documentation I can get in order to do this, as I don’t understand what eltintero did.

Thanks.

There’s a much easier way that @Lisa posted a while ago using Calndr

I was just reading back through this! Yes I’d opt for the Calndr route. Seems like the concept here with templates is the same, just bundled together in HTML and not free - Calndr is though :slight_smile:

Is there documentation or video on how to do this? I see the api and so forth but, if you are like me and only been using Glide for a couple weeks… where am I adding the api etc.? I am still unsure as to how the actions work in the buttons… I guess it’s back to the actual Glide documentation to see if they mention how to connect outside api… :slightly_smiling_face:

for addevent there’s no API, it’s just a template column

Ok, got it. I got to learn how to use template columns. Pray for me… :grin:

Thanks appreciate it.
