Company Calendar

[Ethan]

Hi, my company is looking for a calendar to help promote internal events from different groups, manage registration for events, and then send emails / updates to people as necessary. I have a few questions.

1. Does your system connect with Microsoft 365 / Exchange? Would we be able to automatically send meeting/event invitations to people once they click to sign up/register for an event? Can we also sign up people ourselves for an event?

2. If we needed to update can event, would we be able to automatically update the event someone already has on their calendar for times that either an event is canceled or the time, date, or location changes? Say through Microsoft 365 or some other pathway? Or are events sent as static event files that people need to download, in that case people would need to delete the old event and open the new event file to add to their calendar?

3. Can we send automatic reminders and ad hoc messages to people who have signed up for an event?

4. Which of your products do you recommend we try? I was originally thinking the Events Calendar Pro, but with registration and all I’m not sure what the difference in capabilities are between that and Event Tickets and/or Community Events.

Hi there,

Thanks for emailing support.

Let me answer your questions:

1. No, but you can export ics files and import them into your exchange calendar. Yes, people who register get an email and yes you can signup people.
2. No, must be done in our calendar.
3. You could, but this would require you getting their email and sending it manually.
4. I would try out the free products first and then if you like you can always upgrade to get more features.

Hope that helps.

Thanks,
Brendan

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
