To use an add-to-calendar button on your website, you will need to license (or “whitelist”) the domain on which you wish to use the button. Licensing the domain will allow the button to work on that domain and will allow us to collect usage data for that button.
If you fail to license the domain, the button will not work, and you will receive an error message.
Success. Your domain has been added.
Error.
Please enter a valid URL (e.g. http://www.example.com/events/button) or a base domain (e.g. example.com).
Domains may not contain any spaces, ", ', =, ?, &, or ?. Please check your entry and try again.
Error. You are not permitted to add this domain to your account.
Please only add domains that you own.

Either disable an existing domain and try again, or upgrade your account.

Below you'll find some of the most asked questions.
- Why do I need to add my domain(s) in this list?
-
In order to use our services, you need a license. By adding the domain(s) where you use
our services, you let our system know that the domain is part of your account and
has a valid license.
- What happens if I forget to add my domain?
-
Our software records and analyzes incoming usage. If activity on an unlicensed domain is detected, our software will try to send a notification to the particular website letting it know about the missing license.
- About licensing "Independent sub-domains" vs. root domains
-
With a recent update, you are now able to license specific sub-domains (e.g. “members.domain.com”) as well as entire root domains (e.g. “domain.com”).
When you license a sub-domain, we collect usage for add-to-calendar buttons on only that specific sub-domain.
This provides you with two advantages.
The first is if you are using add-to-calendar buttons on multiple sub-domains,
you will be able to differentiate usage between those different sub-domains. The second is if you license a root domain,
there is no way for us to differentiate between sub-domains, so we analyze the usage for the entire root domain and attribute that to your account.
This means that if there are third parties using an add-to-calendar button on a different sub-domain that shares your root domain,
their usage will be attributed to your account.
- Adding your domain
-
Domains can be added manually or automatically to your list of licensed domains.
To automatically add a domain, simply include the client ID for your AddEvent account in your button code,
and that domain will appear in the list of licensed domains below. Automatically adding domains is available with all paid plans.
- I use AddEvent on a SaaS platform and don't want to add the domains manually.
-
If you want to add usage domains automatically, simply include the client tag in your button code.
