Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to connect a Google account?
No. The button uses standard Google Calendar links and .ics files, so there is nothing to connect.
Do attendees get an automatic calendar invite?
No. Attendees add the event themselves with the button on the order page. SwarmTix does not send calendar invites.
If I change the event time, does the calendar entry update?
No. An entry the attendee already saved does not change, so tell attendees about the new time yourself.
Which calendars work?
Google Calendar, Outlook, Yahoo Calendar and any app that opens .ics files, such as Apple Calendar.
