EventON ICS importer

Description

The ICS importer addon connects EventON to external calendars through the iCalendar standard, reading .ics files and public URLs to automatically populate the base plugin’s event repository. Designed for organizers who maintain schedules in Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple Calendar, or other compatible tools, the component eliminates the rework of manually registering events when the original source already exists in another system.

Key Features

• .ics file import
  Reads iCalendar format files uploaded through the panel and converts each entry into an EventON event.
• Remote URL import
  Accepts public .ics feed addresses, allowing you to pull schedules hosted on external services.
• Event field mapping
  Transfers title, date, time, description, and location from the original record to EventON fields.
• Compatibility with popular calendars
  Works with exports from Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple Calendar, and other tools that follow the iCalendar standard.
• Integration with the EventON ecosystem
  Reuses categories, taxonomies, and visual settings already defined in the base plugin after import.

Benefits of ICS importer

• Migration without manual data entry
  Eliminates event-by-event registration by bringing entire schedules in just a few clicks.
• Synchronization with external sources
  Keeps your site’s calendar aligned with schedules maintained on other platforms by your team.
• Quick EventON adoption
  Speeds up the transition for those who already have event history in another system and need to migrate to WordPress.
• Calendar centralization on your site
  Brings commitments from different calendars into a single public view managed by EventON.

Who Is This Indicated For?

• Event organizers who maintain schedules in Google Calendar, Outlook, or Apple Calendar and need to publish them on their site.
• Communications and marketing teams who receive .ics feeds from partners, speakers, or regional units.
• Universities, churches, associations, and companies that centralize different internal calendars in their WordPress portal with EventON.

Acting as a bridge between EventON and the iCalendar universe, the ICS importer drastically reduces the time to populate your calendar, especially in migration scenarios or when managing multiple event sources. It’s the right tool for anyone who needs to turn existing schedules into publishable events in WordPress without manual registration rework.
