What the Add to Calendar Link Generator does

An add-to-calendar link is a Google Calendar URL that carries the event title, UTC start and end times, location and notes as query parameters, so one click opens a pre-filled event draft the invitee only has to save.

Methodology and formula

The tool builds `https://calendar.google.com/calendar/render?action=TEMPLATE&text=...&dates=start/end&location=...&details=...` using URL-encoded parameters.

Worked example

Inputs: Title: Q2 Planning, Start: 20260615T140000Z, End: 20260615T150000Z, Location: Zoom
Result: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/render?action=TEMPLATE&text=Q2%20Planning...

Attendees click the link and Google Calendar opens with the event details ready to save.

When to use this tool

Use calendar links for webinars, appointments, and events. Pair with mailto for confirmations or QR codes for printed invites.

About the Add to Calendar Link Generator

A real example

A Miami yoga studio emails a 'Saturday 8am Beach Flow' link; tapping it opens Google Calendar with the title, the 8:00-9:00 slot, the beach address and a parking note already filled in, so the student just presses Save.

Reduce no-shows with calendar links

Calendar links cut through scheduling friction. When an event is already on a user's calendar, reminders and notifications are handled by their phone or computer, which improves attendance rates.

Date and time format

Google Calendar expects UTC basic ISO format: `YYYYMMDDTHHmmssZ`. For example, 2:00 PM UTC on June 15, 2026 is `20260615T140000Z`. Convert your local time to UTC before entering it.

Other calendar services

The generator focuses on Google Calendar because it has the most widely supported web-based compose URL. For Outlook, Yahoo, or Apple Calendar, you can export the same event data to an ICS file or use their respective deeplink formats.
