LINK EVENTS CALENDAR INTO GOOGLE / OUTLOOK CALENDAR

[HAYLEY WHITFIELD]

I am scoping out a website development for a client. She needs a website that displays events, with tickets and accepts payments.

She wants to be able to see all her events (once created in WordPress) on her everyday Outlook / Google calendar. Is this possible? Is there functionality that pushes event information from WordPress into the event owner’s personal calendar?

If so, what dataset is pushed through… For instance, would she be able to see in her google calendar on her iPhone that she has 3 events planned for Thursday and 1 is sold out and the others have 2 tickets each remaining?

Hayley,

Thanks for reaching out – these are great questions, and I’d be glad to answer them! 🙂

“She wants to be able to see all her events (once created in WordPress) on her everyday Outlook / Google calendar. Is this possible?”

The answer to this is yes, and no. Yes, you can share events between our plugins and a Outlook or Google Calendar, but the connection goes the other way. So, for example, you could put events on a Google Calendar, and then they get imported to WordPress.

“If so, what dataset is pushed through…” 

Since it’s the connection goes the opposite direction, the dataset is limited to what is collected when the event is created.

Let me know if you have any other questions. Hope this was helpful! 🙂

Could she not subscribe to the events calendar using ical to get notifications the other way?
