Help people add your event to their calendar

Every published event on Christian.com can be added to a calendar in one click. You don't need to set anything up.

On the event page

Each published event's page (christian.com/events/your-event) has two buttons:

• Add to calendar (.ics) downloads a calendar file that works with Apple Calendar, Outlook and most other calendar apps.
• Add to Google Calendar opens Google Calendar with the event filled in.

The calendar entry includes the title, the start and end times, the location (or "Online" for an online event), the description and a link back to the event page.

Share a calendar link

You can also share a direct link to the calendar file, for example in a bulletin, an email or a social post:

`https://www.christian.com/api/public/event-calendar/your-event`

Replace `your-event` with the last part of your event page's address. Opening the link downloads the .ics file.

Keep it accurate

The calendar file is built from the event as it is now. If you change the time or place in /manage/events, new downloads have the change. People who already added the event keep their old copy, so tell them about big changes.

Good to know

• Only published events have a page and a calendar file. Drafts and archived events don't.
• There's no calendar widget to embed your events on your own website. Churches with a ChurchBox site can show events with the Events section (see /help/admins/church-site-sections).
