AddCal

Estimated reading: 2 minutes

Overview

AFI creates calendar invite links and event records through AddCal from WordPress form submissions. Generate “Add to Calendar” links automatically for every booking, event signup, or webinar registration.

Supported actions

  • Create Event — generate a multi-calendar event link (Google / Apple / Outlook).

Authentication

  1. Sign in to AddCal.
  2. Open Account > API.
  3. Generate an API key and copy it.
  4. In AFI go to Settings > AddCal and paste the key.

How to create the integration

  1. In WordPress admin, go to AFI > New Integration.
  2. Pick your Sender (Contact Form 7, WPForms, WooCommerce, etc.) and the form / event to listen on.
  3. Pick AddCal as the Receiver, then pick the Task you want to run.
  4. Map sender fields onto AddCal’s fields. Event title, start time, and end time are required. Description, location, and timezone are optional.
  5. Optional: add Conditional Logic so the action only fires on matching submissions.
  6. Save and run a test submission. Check AFI > Log if anything looks off.

Notes & caveats

  • Time zones: pass an explicit timezone with the start/end times — UTC is the safest default.
  • ICS file: AddCal returns a public link your form’s success page can show to the user.
  • Recurring events: configure recurrence rules in AddCal before generating the link.
