Event iCal QR code

Help people save the date from a poster, invitation, badge, or event program. An iCal-focused QR workflow reduces drop-off between seeing the event and actually adding it to a calendar.

What this type of QR code does

An event iCal QR code usually points to a calendar action, an event landing page, or an ICS file that lets the user add the meeting directly into their calendar app. It is especially useful for webinars, conferences, appointments, open houses, and recurring community events.

Use this page when the primary user action is "save this event". If your goal is broader event promotion, also see Calendar Event QR Code.

Best use cases

How to set it up well

  1. Prepare the event name, date, start time, end time, timezone, and location.
  2. Choose whether the QR should open an ICS file, a calendar-friendly page, or a registration flow.
  3. Generate the QR and label it clearly with a CTA such as "Add to calendar".
  4. Test across iPhone, Android, and desktop email clients before launch.
