Can I customise my ‘Add to calendar’ link?

You can customise your add to calendar placeholder in your Event confirmation using HTML.

The default placeholder you'll see in the order confirmation email template is:

{add-to-calendar-url}

This placeholder automatically creates a link to your event's add to calendar page.

You can customise the 'Add to calendar' link in your order confirmation email using HTML.

Customising the 'add to calendar' link with HTML

If you'd like to customise how the link looks, you can use HTML in your order confirmation email template.

  • Go to your event and select 'Event confirmation'.

  • Switch to the HTML editor.

  • Replace the placeholder with your custom HTML code that includes {add-to-calendar-url} as the link destination.

    • For example: <a href="{add-to-calendar-url}">Save this event to your calendar</a>

  • You can then style the link using your knowledge of HTML and CSS.


💡 Things to note

  • The {add-to-calendar-url} placeholder must remain in your code for the link to work properly.

  • Unfortunately, teaching HTML or CSS isn't something the Ticket Tailor team can help with, but you may be able to find some useful resources around the web, or work with your site developer!
