Revisual builds each event on your website from the event in your Outlook or Microsoft 365 calendar. You don't enter anything twice: fill in the event in Outlook, and Revisual shows it after the next sync.
Outlook field | On your website |
Title | The event name |
Date and time | When the event happens. All-day events have no time |
Repeat | Recurring events, with their upcoming dates |
Location | The address, with a Show on map button, or a clickable meeting link |
Teams meeting | An Online meeting section with a Join meeting button |
Calendar | Which calendar the event is in. Use it to filter events |
Categories | The event's colour, and a way to filter events |
Description | Text, video players and a call-to-action button |
Attachment | The cover image |
Title
Keep it short and clear: it's the first thing visitors read, often on a small card or a phone. Put the most important words first, for example "Yoga for beginners" rather than "Tuesday evening session: yoga for beginners".
Date and time
Set when the event starts and ends. For an event without a set time, turn on All day. Revisual shows it without a time.
Recurring events
For an event that repeats, set how often it repeats in Outlook. Recurring events work the same as with Google Calendar. On your website you can:
list the next dates in the event details, with Show recurrence series on the widget's Design tab, under Events.
mark them with a badge. See How to mark recurring events with a badge.
show a repeating event once instead of on every date. See How to show a recurring event only once.
Location
Type an address or a venue name. On your website, the event details show the address with a Show on map button.
Online events
There are two ways to add an online meeting.
Turn on Teams meeting in Outlook. Revisual adds an Online meeting section to the event details, with the meeting link, a copy button and a Join meeting button. Outlook also adds the joining details to the description, so they show there too.
Or put a meeting link in the location. Any meeting link works, for example Teams, Zoom or Google Meet. Revisual shows it as a link under Location, instead of the Show on map button.
Calendar
The calendar you put the event in decides where it can show: you can filter widgets by calendar. See How to choose which events show on your website (filters).
Categories
Give an event a category in Outlook to colour it and to group it. On your website:
Colour: Revisual can show each event in its category colour. See How to use your calendar colors on your website.
Filter: add a Category filter to show or leave out events with a category. See How to choose which events show on your website (filters).
Description
Write what visitors need to know: what happens, who it's for, the price and how to book.
Videos: a YouTube or Vimeo link becomes a video player. To show plain links instead, turn off Turn video links into preview on the Design tab, under Events › Details enhancement.
Call-to-action button: the first or the last link in the description can become a button, such as Book your seat. Choose which in the call-to-action settings on the Design tab.
Hide the button's link: the link also stays in the description. To show it only as the button, turn on Hide description links matching the CTA button on the Design tab, under Events › Details enhancement.
Tip: if the description has a video link and a booking link, put the booking link where the button takes it from. If the button uses the last link, put the booking link after the video link.
Attachment (cover image)
The first image attached to the event becomes its cover image. Attach it with the paperclip in Outlook, don't paste it into the description. See How to add images to Outlook calendar events.
