EventOn ICS Importer Add-on

Entering events by hand can take time when the source calendar is managed elsewhere. This add-on imports events from ICS files into EventON, including files from calendars such as Outlook, iCal, and Google Calendar. You can upload a file yourself or use an external ICS source, giving your website calendar a way to draw on event details already maintained in another calendar.

Before import, review the events in an interactive list and select, deselect, or edit entries. The add-on can detect all-day events, apply timezone settings, and match previously imported events by UID to sync changes. Scheduled imports can run daily, weekly, or monthly. These controls suit teams that manage public event listings and want to review imported details before they appear on their website.

Features

• Import ICS files: Bring event data from ICS files into your EventON calendar, including files from Outlook, iCal, and Google Calendar.
• Schedule source imports: Connect an external ICS source and set imports to run daily, weekly, or monthly, or upload a file manually.
• Sync by UID: Match previously imported events using their unique identifiers, so changes in the source calendar can be reflected in EventON.
• Set event timezones: Choose the website timezone, the timezone in the ICS file, or a custom timezone for imported event times.
• Detect all-day events: The importer identifies all-day events in the ICS data and imports them as all-day events in the calendar.
• Review events before import: Use the imported events list to review entries, select or deselect them, and edit event details before finalizing the import.
• Adjust imported details: Edit event times, add user interaction values, or modify imported details through an expandable side panel.

• Event managers maintaining website calendars
