Activity Messenger allows you to host an event calendar on your microsite. You can direct clients, staff and volunteers to the calendar page. You can even embed the calendar on your website.

To add a calendar to your page, click on (+) and choose the Calendar block. The calendar settings popup will open.

You can configure the calendar to open on today's date, or a specific date. The calendar comes in 3 different views: month, week or day. You decide which views are available, and which is used by default. You can also limit the calendar minimum and maximum times. For example from 9am to 10pm.

Calendar events can have one of 6 colors. You can define the legend colors and labels to appear.

Expand the Events source section and click on the (+) button to create a new event source. Choose a form to pull dates from. You can cycle through events found. Pick a color for the event.

If you are pulling from a form with date questions, Activity Messenger will ask you which questions to use to pull the event title, date and subtitle. You can also add more details in the event popup.
