How to Add Events to Outlook, Google and Apple Calendars

With a Timely account, you can allow your audience to subscribe to your online calendar by adding your events to their personal calendars. If you wish, you can use the same tools to export events from your own Timely events calendar. In this post, you will learn how to export events from your Timely calendar to Outlook, Google and Apple calendars.

1. Allowing Others to Add your Events to their Personal Calendars

One way to promote your events is to make them popular and visible as possible. This includes maximizing their presence on multiple platforms, including your audience's personal calendars. This shows that they are interested in attending and want to be reminded of your event.

You can allow your audience to add your events to their personal calendars by configuring your toolbar. Just go to Settings > Design > Toolbar Settings and check the box Show add to calendar button.

If you prefer to not allow your audience to subscribe to your calendar, just uncheck the Show add to calendar button checkbox.

2. How to Export Events From your Timely Calendar

Although the importing process is slightly different from calendar to calendar, the initial actions are the same for all of them. To start exporting events from your Timely calendar, follow the steps below:

1. Go to the public view of your calendar on your own website, or click on the shortcut Public Calendar on the top right corner of your Timely account dashboard.

2. If you have enabled the Show add to calendar button feature on your toolbar settings, you will see the Add to Calendar button on the top right corner of your online calendar.

3. When you click on that button you will see all the options available to your audience to subscribe to your calendar of events and export them to other calendars. Click on either the Google, Apple or Outlook options.

3. Exporting Events to Outlook Calendar

Outlook is one of the most used corporate email platforms. Therefore, it also has its own calendar applications to help you keep track of your appointments and events. You and your audience can export events from your Timely Calendar to an Outlook Calendar by following these steps:

1. Once you have clicked on the Outlook icon on your public calendar, your Outlook Calendar will open on your device. A pop-up window will appear on the screen for you to confirm that you want to subscribe to the Timely calendar.

2. Click on the Subscribe button. Your Outlook Calendar will start importing all the events from your Timely Calendar.

Alternatively, you can download an ICS file with your events and import them into your Outlook Calendar. Just follow the instructions on this post from Microsoft: Import or subscribe to a calendar in Outlook.com.

4. Adding Events to Google Calendar

People who use Google applications on a daily basis may prefer to add events to their Google Calendar. To perform this action, just follow the steps below:

1. Once you have clicked on the Google icon on your public calendar, your Google Calendar will open on the screen. If you are not logged in into your Google account, a new login page will open on the screen. Just add your Google account credentials to proceed.

2. Then, a pop-up box will appear on the screen. Just confirm that you want to subscribe to the Timely calendar by clicking on the Add button.

3. Click on the Add button to add all your Timely calendar events to your Google Calendar.

5. Exporting Events to Apple Calendar

If you have an iPhone or use any Mac device, you may already be familiar with Apple Calendar. To export events from your Timely calendar into your Apple Calendar, follow the steps below:

1. After clicking on the Apple icon on your public calendar, a new tab will open on your device. A pop-up window will appear on the screen asking you to open your Apple Calendar. Click on Open Calendar button. Follow the instructions below according to the external calendar chosen.
