Preview
Google, Outlook and Yahoo do not publish these link formats. They are the ones their calendars accept today, so open each link once before you send it.
A dynamic VISU QR points to a short visu.to link that opens your event link or, when there is none, the Google Calendar link above. If the date or the page changes, you edit the destination in your account and the printed code keeps working. VISU shows how many times it was scanned.

How to use it
- Type the event name, then pick the start date and time. Tick "All-day event" for a date without a time.
- Add the end, or leave it empty: one hour for timed events, one day for all-day events.
- Check the time zone. It should be the one where the event happens.
- Add the place and, if you like, a link and a short description.
- Open each link once to check the date and the time, then copy the ones you need or the HTML with the buttons.
- Download the .ics file for people who use Apple Calendar or a calendar app on the computer.

Questions
How do I create an add to calendar link?
Each web calendar has its own address for a new event, with the name, the dates, the place and the notes written into the link. Type the event here and the page writes that link for Google Calendar, for Outlook and for Yahoo, plus an .ics file for every other calendar.
Which link works for Apple Calendar and iPhone?
Apple Calendar has no web link for a new event. Use the .ics file: attach it to the email, or put it on your site and link to it. Opening the file offers to add the event on iPhone, on Mac and in most other calendar apps, including Outlook on the computer.
How do time zones work in these links?
Pick the time zone where the event happens. The Google and Outlook links and the .ics file carry the exact moment, so each person sees it converted to their own time zone. Yahoo has no time zone in its link and shows the clock time you typed. "No time zone" keeps the same clock time everywhere, and all-day events carry dates only.
Can I put the buttons in an email?
Yes. The HTML is plain links with inline styles, without scripts or images, which is what email tools accept. Paste it in the HTML or code view of your email editor. In a plain text email, paste the links themselves.
Are these links official, and will they keep working?
Google, Microsoft and Yahoo do not publish documentation for these links, so there is no guarantee. The formats here are the ones their calendars accept today, and they have changed before. Test each link when you create it and include the .ics file, which follows a public standard (iCalendar, RFC 5545).
What happens if the event changes?
The links and the file are a snapshot: whoever already saved the event keeps the old details. Create the links again and send the update. For print, a QR code that points to a page you can edit is safer than one with the date inside.
Is my event sent anywhere?
No. Everything is made in your browser, and nothing you type is sent to VISU or stored. The event only reaches a calendar service when someone opens one of the links.
