EventON ICS Importer

EventON ICS Importer is an official WordPress add-on designed to import events from ICS files or sources directly into the EventON calendar. This standard format is used by popular calendar applications such as Outlook, iCal, and Google Calendar, allowing you to centralize information from multiple external calendars in one place within your website.

The add-on is aimed at site administrators who manage dynamic schedules coordinated across various tools: conference organizers, online academies, membership communities, companies with multiple locations, and stores that combine sales with special events. Instead of manually duplicating each event in WordPress, ICS Importer establishes an automatic bridge between external planning and the visual presentation of the calendar on your site.

Among its main features, it stands out for manual import by uploading ICS files, with an AJAX process that provides real-time feedback and a preview of processed events before confirming the import. It also allows importing from external ICS file URLs and configuring scheduled imports automatically, with daily, weekly, or monthly frequencies, to keep the calendar always synchronized with remote sources.

The add-on includes advanced configuration options such as timezone selection (UTC, the WordPress site's timezone, or a custom one), automatic detection of all-day events, immediate publishing of imported events or saving them as drafts, and a duplicate verification system based on the event UID. Additionally, it allows syncing already imported events when the UID matches in the ICS file, updating existing data without creating duplicate records.

The import interface offers an interactive list where you can select or deselect individual events, adjust times with positive or negative offsets, hide end times, and configure user interaction with each event. The entire process is carried out from the WordPress admin panel, in the EventON > ICS Import section, with a smooth experience and no need for advanced technical knowledge.

With EventON ICS Importer, your site maintains a centralized, accurate, and always up-to-date schedule, reducing human errors and freeing up time for strategic tasks. It is the ideal solution for projects that need to reflect in their public calendar the planning that already exists on other platforms, without friction or repetitive manual work.
