How to Add Add to Calendar Links on Linktree (2026)

Last updated: October 2026. We checked the Linktree steps against Linktree's help center and its current editor, and tested every CalGet step with a real event and real calendar saves in October 2026.

You post the workshop on Instagram. The caption ends with "link in bio." Someone taps through to your Linktree, sees the date, thinks "I'd go to that," and closes the app. By the day of the workshop, they've forgotten it.

One Linktree button fixes that. Point it at an add to calendar link, and two taps later the event is in their calendar with the time, the address and the details. This guide walks through the whole setup with one example: Mossy Kiln, a made-up pottery studio, and its Holiday Mug Workshop on December 5.

A note on the screenshots: the CalGet screens are real, from a live event. The Linktree editor and profile are our recreations, built to match Linktree's current editor (it was redesigned in 2025) and its help center, because we didn't want to show anyone's real account.

Can Linktree add events to a calendar on its own?

No. A Linktree link sends people somewhere, and none of Linktree's own link types saves a date to a visitor's calendar. Linktree does have a few event tools, and it helps to know where each one fits:

These work together. A band can keep its Tour and Events link for ticket sales and add one calendar button for the show it most wants people to remember. Google's own link is fine if everyone you know uses Google Calendar, but Google says on its help page for event links that the event has to be on a public calendar, and your iPhone and Outlook followers can't use it.

Step 1: Create your add to calendar link in CalGet

An add to calendar link is a single web address that opens your event and offers to save it. Here's how to make one in CalGet:

1. Click New Event. If you run a schedule, start from inside that calendar, and the event lands in it too.
2. Add the title, the date, the start and end times, and the time zone. Your followers aren't all in your city, and the time zone is how they see the right time.
3. Add the location and a short description, so people know where to go without hunting for your post again.
4. Optionally, type a custom link, like mossy-kiln-holiday-mugs, so the address reads cleanly.
5. Click Create Event Link.

Open the event. Its link sits at the top of Your Event Details. Click Copy.

Step 2: Add the calendar link to your Linktree

Linktree's help article on adding links covers the basics. With the CalGet link copied:

1. Log in to Linktree and open Links under My Linktree.
2. Click the purple + Add button.
3. Paste the link into the search box. Linktree shows one result, Link. Click it.
4. The new link appears at the top of your list, already switched on, with a title Linktree took from the event page. Click the pencil next to the title and rename it.

The rename matters more than it looks. "Holiday Mug Workshop" reads like a link to more information. "Add the Holiday Mug Workshop to your calendar" tells people what the tap does, and that's what gets the tap.

Two optional touches. The image icon on the link card adds a thumbnail, and a small calendar icon makes the button easy to pick out. The layout icon switches the link between Classic and Featured, a bigger card, if this is the event you most want people to see. Keep it near the top of your list either way; drag it there with the handle on the left of the card.

Step 3: Hide the button after the event

A calendar button for a workshop that already happened is clutter, and it sends people to an event they can't attend. Linktree can take it down for you. Click the calendar icon on the link card to open Schedule, set Hide link to the time the event ends, pick your time zone, and click Schedule.

According to Linktree's article on scheduling links, scheduling is on its Starter, Pro and Premium plans. On other plans, archive the link yourself after the event. Linktree keeps an archived link's Insights, and you can restore it anytime.

For a class schedule or a tour: link a subscription calendar

One event, one button. That's right for a workshop. Mossy Kiln also runs wheel classes every Tuesday and a kids' clay club on Saturdays, and a button for each would bury the profile.

A subscription calendar covers the whole schedule with one link. In CalGet, each calendar has a public link (ours is calget.com/c/ followed by a short code) that lists your upcoming events with a Subscribe to Calendar button. Add that link to Linktree the same way and call it something like "Subscribe to our class calendar." People pick Google, Apple, Outlook, Yahoo, Office 365 or iCal, and when you add a new date in CalGet, it shows up in their calendar. Calendar apps refresh subscriptions on their own schedule, and Google Calendar can take several hours, so don't expect it within seconds.

Here's how we'd split it: a single-event button for the one date you're promoting this month, and a subscription button that stays up all year. If you're new to calendars in CalGet, here's how to create an event collection.

One button per calendar, or a QR code

Every CalGet event also has Direct Calendar Links: one each for Google, Apple, Outlook, Office365, Yahoo and an ICS file. Each one skips the event page and goes straight to that calendar. If nearly all your followers are on iPhones, an "Add to Apple Calendar" button saves them a tap.

We'd still use the single event link on most profiles. It works for everyone, and it's one button to keep up to date instead of three.

The QR code next to them points to the same event. Print it on the flyer by the register, and people who see the poster get the same link as people who find you on Instagram.

See how many people actually saved it

Linktree counts taps on each button. That tells you who was curious. It doesn't tell you who saved the date. On CalGet's paid plans (see pricing), the event's Analytics tab shows clicks, calendar adds, and which calendars people chose. The numbers below are our own test saves for this guide, from a few phones and computers:

In our test, saves through the direct calendar links counted as calendar adds but not as page clicks, which is why adds are higher than clicks here. Compare the adds with your Linktree taps a few days before the event. A big gap means people looked and didn't commit, and that's who your reminder post is for.

Want a head count as well as saves? Turn on Collect RSVPs when you create the event, and people RSVP on the same page where they add it to their calendar. Our page on collecting RSVPs with CalGet shows how it works.

Mistakes that make the button less useful

• A vague title. "Workshop" or "Event info" makes people guess. Say what the tap does.
• Linking the flyer instead of a calendar link. An image of the date still leaves people to type it into their calendar by hand.
• Making a new link when the time changes. Edit the event in CalGet instead. The Linktree button keeps working, and anyone who saves it from then on gets the new time. People who already saved it won't be updated automatically, so post about the change too.
• Testing only on your laptop. Many people reach your Linktree from Instagram or TikTok, and those apps open links in their own browser. Open your profile from the Instagram app on your phone and tap the button once before you post.
• Leaving last month's event up. Schedule the hide time, or archive the link the day after.

Frequently asked questions

Does Linktree have an add to calendar feature?

No. Linktree has link apps for tour dates (Seated and Bandsintown) and bookings (such as Calendly), and it can schedule when a link shows, but there's no built-in way for visitors to save your event to their calendar. Add an add to calendar link as a regular link instead.

How do I add a calendar link to my Linktree?

Open Links in your Linktree admin, click + Add, paste the calendar link into the search box, and choose the Link result. Then click the pencil next to the title and rename it, for example "Add the workshop to your calendar".

Will the link work for iPhone and Android users?

Yes. A CalGet event page lets each person choose: Apple Calendar (it downloads an .ics file the iPhone opens in Calendar), Google Calendar, Outlook, Office 365 or Yahoo, or a plain .ics download.

Can I put a whole calendar of events on Linktree?

Yes. Link a CalGet subscription calendar. Visitors subscribe once, and new events you add appear in their calendar app when it next refreshes the subscription.

Can Linktree remove the calendar button after the event?

Yes, with Linktree's Schedule option: set Hide link to the event's end time. Linktree's help center lists scheduling on its Starter, Pro and Premium plans. On other plans, archive the link by hand.
