Calendar Integration for Attendees

Written by Benjamin Dell

Attendees can add their HeySummit schedule to a calendar from the event site, and HeySummit can also email calendar invites after registration.

How attendees add sessions to their calendar

After an attendee has registered and selected talks, they can open the Add to Calendar option from their attendee schedule or the event page where you have added the calendar button.

The calendar modal gives attendees options for Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, and an iCal download. When event-level calendar options are available, they can add the event or schedule as a whole. They can also add individual talks from the same modal.

Add to Calendar options for an attendee schedule

Hide the add-all options

If you want attendees to add talks individually instead of using the event-level add-all options, edit the page that contains the Add Talks To Calendar button and enable Hide 'Add All' Options?.

Hide Add All Options setting in the Page Editor

When this setting is enabled, attendees are guided toward adding individual talks from the calendar modal.

Automatic calendar invite emails

HeySummit can also send calendar invite emails to attendees after registration. These are handled alongside the Here's your schedule email flow.

For standard dated events, attendees normally receive an event-level calendar invite. For per-talk registration, single-workshop style events, or series-style events, HeySummit sends talk-level calendar invites instead, because an event-level calendar invite is not always the right fit.

Per-Talk Registration setting in registration and checkout settings

If an attendee has no upcoming talks on their schedule, HeySummit will not send a talk-level calendar invite for that attendee.

Turn automatic calendar invites off

If your event does not need automatic calendar invite emails, you can disable them from your event settings. See How to Disable Calendar Invites for Attendees.
