Allow users to subscribe

[John F. Sklavounos]

Hello,

I REALLY love your calendar and I am interested to upgrade, but I can’t tell if there’s a “Subscribe” feature. We are running a membership site and I would like to give our users the ability to subscribe to the event calendar instead of importing. Basically, new events get added and changed regularly so it’s unrealistic to expect our non-technical users to “manually sync” with their calendar, not to mention the time drain to keep up.

All my best,
John

Hey John!

Thanks for reaching out.

it’s unrealistic to expect our non-technical users to “manually sync” with their calendar, not to mention the time drain to keep up.

So to be clear, when you say “subscribe”, it sounds like you mean that you want users to have events from your site auto-posted to their own individual Google Calendars or Outlook calendars or something like that?

Is this correct? Is this the sort of thing you mean?

If not, can you clarify exactly how the subscription will work?

If you do mean the sort of thing I gave an example of above, then unfortunately our products to not have a feature like this 🙁

One thing that might help which is NOT a premium feature–it’s included in The Events Calendar itself–is the simple addition of /feed to the events URL on your site. This is auto-refreshed every time a new event is published!

So if your site is example.com/, and your events URL is example.com/events, then you can have users “subscribe” with an RSS application at example.com/events/feed

That’s unfortunately the best option of the type you describe at this point 🙁 Sorry to disappoint!
