How do I add the event to my calendar?

By Nimanto 1 min read

In short

Tap Add to calendar in the invitation's share buttons to open Google Calendar with the event filled in. Reminder e-mails also offer Google Calendar and Apple / Outlook links; the Apple / Outlook one downloads a calendar file.

Once you have replied, put the day in your calendar so it is there with the venue and the link.

From the invitation

  1. Open the invitation and scroll to its share buttons (often near the end, with WhatsApp and Copy link).
  2. Tap Add to calendar.
  3. Google Calendar opens a new event with the title, start time, an end three hours later, the venue as the location and the invitation link in the details. Save it.

Not every design shows this button; the host chooses which share buttons appear.

From a reminder e-mail

Reminder e-mails from the host carry an Event details card with the date and time in the event's own time zone, and two links:

  • Google Calendar opens the same pre-filled event.
  • Apple / Outlook downloads a calendar file that opens straight into Apple Calendar or Outlook, with an alert two hours before the start.

The calendar file always opens in your browser, even on a phone with the Nimanto app.

What the entry holds

The event title, the start, an end three hours later, the venue, and "Your invitation: <link>" so the invitation is one tap away on the day. If the host changes the date, the invitation updates but a calendar entry you already saved does not: open the invitation again and add it afresh.

If there is no date yet

A Save the date style invitation without a date opens Google Calendar without dates, and no calendar file is offered. Check back when the host adds one.
