How to Create a Recurring Event
Updated October 20, 2026
A recurring event is one event link for something that happens on a schedule: a weekly class, a monthly meetup, a yearly fundraiser. Guests add it once and every date lands in their calendar, so you don't have to create and share a new link each time.
Plans: recurring events are included in the Starter, Standard and Professional plans. See Pricing.
Create a recurring event
- In the sidebar, go to Events and click New Event.
- Fill in the first date of the series: the title, start and end date and time, location (or turn on Online event) and a description. Check the time zone in the top-right corner of the form. Every repeat uses the same time in that time zone.
- Turn on Recurring. The Recurring Event window opens.
- Under Repeat every, choose Day, Week, Month or Year, then set the details (see Repeat options below).
- Under Ends, choose when the series stops: Never, After a number of occurrences, or On date.
- Click Set Recurrence.
- Click Create Event Link. Your event page and add-to-calendar links are ready to share.
Once a pattern is set, an Edit button appears next to the Recurring toggle, so you can open the window again before you create the link.

Repeat options
| Repeat every | What you can set | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Day | Repeats every day. | A daily stand-up, a week-long festival |
| Week | Every 1 to 52 weeks, on one or more days (Repeat on Mo–Su). The weekday of your start date is selected for you. | Every Tuesday · every other Thursday (2 weeks) · Monday to Friday |
| Month | Every 1 or more months, either on a date (Day 1–31 of the month) or on a weekday (First, Second, Third, Fourth or Last + a day). | The 15th of every month · the second Thursday · the last Friday |
| Year | Once a year, on a date or a weekday in the month you pick. | March 3 every year · the first Saturday of June |
When the series ends
- Never: the event keeps repeating.
- After: the series stops after that many occurrences (1 to 999). Each date counts as one, so Monday and Wednesday for 12 occurrences is six weeks.
- On date: the series stops on the date you pick.
What your guests see
Your event page shows the first date and a line describing the schedule, such as "Occurs weekly on Tuesday, starting from Oct 13, 2026, forever".
When a guest clicks Add to Calendar, how the repeats come through depends on their calendar:
| Calendar | What gets added |
|---|---|
| Google Calendar | The whole series |
| Apple Calendar | The whole series |
| Download ICS File | The whole series (the file includes the repeat rule) |
| Outlook, Office 365, Yahoo Calendar | The first date only |
If many of your guests use Outlook or Yahoo, add the event to a calendar and share that calendar's subscription link instead. Subscribers get every date, and your later changes come through too. See How subscription calendars work in CalGet
Times stay right across daylight saving changes. The event keeps its time zone, so a 7:00 AM class stays at 7:00 AM local time all year.
Change or stop a recurring event
- Go to Events and open the event.
- Click the Edit tab.
- Click Edit next to Recurring. The window opens with your current pattern.
- Change the pattern or the end, then click Set Recurrence. To make it a one-time event, turn off Recurring instead.
- Click Save changes.
Your event page and links update right away. Guests who already added the event to their calendar keep the copy they saved, so let them know about big changes. Calendar subscribers get the update the next time their calendar app refreshes.
To see all of your repeating events, open Events and click the Recurring tab. Each one has a Recurring label in the list.
Tips
- Put the schedule in the title when it helps, such as "Tuesday Sunrise Flow" or "Monthly Members' Meetup", so guests recognise it in their calendar.
- Use an end date for seasons and courses. A six-week course with "After" or "On date" won't keep showing up in guests' calendars once it's over.
- Show every date on your website by adding the event to a calendar and embedding it. See Embeddable Calendar setup: domains, look and code.
FAQ
Why did only one date show up in my guest's calendar?
They probably used Outlook, Office 365 or Yahoo Calendar. Those add-to-calendar links add the first date only. Ask them to use Download ICS File, or share your calendar's subscription link.
Can I make an event repeat every two weeks?
Yes. Choose Week, set the number next to it to 2, and pick the day.
Can I repeat on the last weekday of the month?
Yes. Choose Month, select the second option under Repeat by, and pick Last and the day, for example the last Friday.
