EventOn ICS Importer Addon GPL v2.0.5 – Seamlessly Import and Sync Events from Any Calendar Platform

🔄 Universal Calendar Platform Integration

Break down calendar silos by importing events from any major calendar platform including Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, Apple Calendar, and hundreds of other ICS-compatible services directly into your EventOn system. This comprehensive integration capability eliminates the need to maintain separate calendar systems or manually recreate events across different platforms, creating a unified event management experience. The addon supports both public and private calendar feeds, allowing you to import personal schedules, team calendars, or organization-wide event data with complete flexibility. Whether you’re consolidating corporate events, educational schedules, or community programming, this universal compatibility ensures that no calendar platform is left behind in your centralized event management strategy.

⚡ Automated ICS File Synchronization

Eliminate manual calendar maintenance with intelligent automated syncing that continuously monitors your external calendar sources and updates your EventOn calendar in real-time. Set up synchronization schedules that run hourly, daily, or weekly to ensure your website always displays the most current event information without any manual intervention required. The automated system handles additions, modifications, and deletions from source calendars, maintaining perfect synchronization across all platforms while you focus on other important tasks. Advanced sync settings allow you to control which calendars sync when, providing granular control over your automated import processes while maintaining the convenience of hands-off calendar management.

📊 Intelligent Bulk Event Processing

Transform your event management workflow with powerful bulk import capabilities that can process hundreds or thousands of events simultaneously, dramatically reducing the time required to populate your EventOn calendar. The intelligent processing system handles large datasets efficiently, preventing timeouts and ensuring reliable imports even with extensive event collections from busy organizations or venues. Advanced batch processing includes progress tracking, error reporting, and automatic retry mechanisms that ensure successful imports while providing clear feedback on the import process. This bulk capability is particularly valuable for organizations migrating from other calendar systems or importing historical event data to create comprehensive event archives.

🎯 Advanced Event Field Mapping

Achieve perfect event data organization with sophisticated field mapping capabilities that allow you to precisely control how external calendar information translates into your EventOn event structure. Map event titles, descriptions, locations, dates, categories, and custom fields to ensure that imported events maintain their full detail and context within your EventOn system. The flexible mapping system accommodates different calendar platforms’ data structures, ensuring that regardless of the source platform, your events display with consistent formatting and complete information. Custom field mapping enables you to preserve specialized event data and maintain organizational standards across all imported events, creating a professional and cohesive event presentation.

🔄 Real-Time Event Synchronization

Maintain absolute accuracy between your external calendars and EventOn with real-time synchronization that immediately reflects changes made in source calendars across your entire event management system. When events are modified, rescheduled, or cancelled in external platforms, these changes are automatically propagated to your EventOn calendar, ensuring visitors always see the most current information. The real-time sync capability includes intelligent conflict resolution and change detection that prevents data corruption while maintaining the integrity of your event information. This synchronization extends to recurring events, ensuring that pattern changes and individual instance modifications are properly reflected in your EventOn display.

🚀 Seamless EventOn Integration

Experience flawless integration with your existing EventOn setup, as the ICS Importer addon works harmoniously with all EventOn features, themes, and other addons without conflicts or compatibility issues. Imported events inherit your EventOn styling, categorization systems, and display preferences, ensuring visual consistency across all events regardless of their source platform. The integration preserves all EventOn functionality including event registration, ticketing, and custom fields, allowing imported events to participate fully in your event management ecosystem. Comprehensive compatibility testing ensures that the addon works reliably with popular WordPress themes and EventOn extensions, providing a stable foundation for your integrated calendar management solution.

⏱️ Time-Saving Calendar Management

Revolutionize your event management workflow by eliminating the tedious manual process of recreating events across multiple platforms, freeing up valuable time for more strategic event planning and promotion activities. The automated import and sync capabilities reduce event management overhead by up to 90%, allowing you to focus on creating engaging events rather than managing calendar data entry. Streamlined workflows mean that events created in familiar platforms like Google Calendar or Outlook automatically appear on your website without additional work, making it easier for team members to contribute to your event calendar. This time-saving approach is particularly valuable for organizations with multiple event coordinators or departments, enabling distributed event creation while maintaining centralized calendar management and display.
