How to Add the Add to Calendar Widget on Your Form

Jotform’s Add to Calendar widget lets you add calendar-ready event options directly to your form, making it easy for respondents to save important dates after registering or booking. You can configure events with details such as the title, date, time, location, and description, then let users add them to Google Calendar, Outlook, or download an ICS file.

3. Next, in the Widget Settings window that opens on the right side of the page, under the General tab, in the Events section, hover over the sample event to reveal the following actions:
   • Gear icon — Click on it to edit the event details and settings.
