How the Google Calendar template URL works

Google's calendar/render?action=TEMPLATE endpoint prefills the event composer from URL parameters: text for the title, dates as start/end in YYYYMMDDTHHMMSS format, plus details and location. The visitor reviews and saves with one click.

Timezone handling

The datetime format used here carries no timezone offset, so Google interprets it in the viewer's own timezone. For global events, state the timezone explicitly in the description, like 3 PM WIB, to avoid confusion.

Calendar Link Maker FAQs

Does the visitor need a Google account?
Yes, to save the event they need to be signed into Google. The link still shows the event details to signed-out users and prompts them to sign in, so it degrades gracefully.
Can I make an all-day event?
Yes: use the date-only format YYYYMMDD/YYYYMMDD in the dates parameter instead of the datetime form. This tool focuses on timed events, which cover webinars and meetings.
How do I add the event to Outlook instead?
Outlook on the web accepts a similar deep link, and Apple Calendar users can subscribe via .ics files. Google template links cover the largest audience; offer an .ics download alongside for the rest.
Why is my event an hour off?
The link has no timezone data, so daylight saving transitions or a mis-set device clock shift it. Double-check the start and end times in the generated link before publishing.
Can I prefill guests on the event?
Google's template endpoint supports an add parameter with comma-separated emails. It is undocumented and occasionally ignored, so mention key guests in the description as a backup.
