AddEvent Reviews & Product Details

AddEvent streamlines our entire event workflow, from creation to follow-up, while giving us full control over branded assets on our site. We rely on it for a key project that bridges our digital storefront with live video demos and sales calls, and the results have been impressive with increased engagement and revenue.

Certain months we did not use AddEvent, so the subscription felt like wasted spend. But overall, this was not a problem because of the low cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that AddEvent is quite simple to use and easy to understand. Anyone who can create an event in Outlook or Zoom will find it familiar and straightforward. You just build your event, and then you can copy and paste bits into where you need them. It's nice and simple to use, makes sense, and is understandable. I also appreciate that it works across different calendar providers like Gmail and Microsoft Outlook, so no matter what technology someone uses, AddEvent will support them. It's great for letting clients see upcoming training sessions and easily add reminders to their calendars, making sure they don't miss anything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the area I would like personally to be improved is their embeddable calendars. I've actually had some messages from the development team there. So I think there is some work due to be taking place, which might help me out there. But I would love to be able to embed my, to create, like, a customised and streamlined embeddable calendar where users of my system could see all my upcoming drop-in training sessions. Whereas right now, I have to create the sessions and keep copying and pasting from AddEvent's admin system over to my system. So that would be great just to stop some copy-pasting. If I could just embed a calendar in there, and it would automatically show the upcoming events. There is a currently available embeddable calendar, but it doesn't quite meet my needs and adds exrra complexity and clicks for end users which I want to minimise.

I love how AddEvent integrates seamlessly into our emails, making it incredibly easy for guests to add events to their calendars, which is crucial especially when we send out invites weeks in advance. This feature ensures the highest attendance possible for our events. The back-end features are a big plus too, allowing us to see how many people have added the event to their calendars, giving us immediate feedback and insights, which is very handy. We've found it easy to implement, and it's a feature that our constituents have really enjoyed. I also appreciate that AddEvent embeds events right into our guests' hands, making it a proactive approach in today's mobile-driven world. Overall, it's a simple and effective tool that has filled a gap we previously had, ensuring that our guests are well-prepared with all event details. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AddEvent was very easy to use for our team, but I can see how implementing it could be difficult for someone who is less tech savvy. Perhaps more specific instructions, or even a visual step-by-step guide could be helpful for how to get the URL ready to use in your email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like best the ability to allow attendees to add the event details to their own calendar - whether that’s Google, Yahoo, or Apple. We find that our volunteers all use different platforms so this makes it very convenient for them as we host various events. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think it could be more clear on what communications AddEvent sends out to people who have registered for the events. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like AddEvent because it is an extremely easy-to-use platform. I have been using it since 2022, and its simplicity allows me to perform many tasks with greater control and stability in my processes. The platform simplifies event management, making my daily life easier with the ability to manage events, emails, and communications in one place. I appreciate how I can customize it the way I want and control the information I am collecting, which allows me full use of the platform. Additionally, the ability to create customizable landing pages to promote events and collect data in an organized and simple way is invaluable. This ease of use and customization makes AddEvent very valuable and significantly improves the way I manage my daily work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although the recent update of the AddEvent platform has resolved many previous issues, I still think that email communication, particularly regarding RSVPs, could be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use AddEvent to send invitations to our subscribers, allowing them to add events to their calendar easily. This has helped increase attendance at our recurring events. I really like the 'Add to calendar' features and 'Calendar subscription' features because our subscribers can subscribe to all of our events at once and receive reminders through their calendar. The RSVP features and the ability to send event reminders through the platform contribute significantly to improving our event showup rate. Additionally, the initial setup was easy, which was a big plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the intuitive nature of AddEvent; it's familiar and easy to use. We notice a good number of our guests utilizing the feature, which shows it's effective.

Nothing at this time! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of use for both ourselves as well as the prospects or attendees to our events. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The naming convention of the two event types is a tad confusing - I've repeatedly found myself getting mixed up with whether something is an event add or part of a calendar so more clarity could be provided there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
