From Any Page to Your Calendar: Add Events with Browser Extensions

Most of the details you need for your calendar live in your browser—emails, event pages, tickets, course schedules, and newsletters. Smart Calendars AI extensions turn what you're reading into clean events and reminders in seconds.

From Any Page to Your Calendar: Add Events with Browser Extensions - Features article

The Copy-Paste Problem (and Why It Wastes Time)

Manual entry is slow and troublesome:

  • You scan long pages to find dates and times.
  • You retype titles, locations, and links.
  • You forget alerts—then forget the event.
  • You repeat this for every event, every week.

With the extension, you highlight or open a page, click once, and get a ready-to-save event—title, time, location, links, alerts, and travel buffers—without typos.

How It Works (Step-by-Step)

Simple 4-step process:

  1. Open the page that contains event info (email, ticket, agenda, syllabus).
  2. Optionally select the most relevant block (date/time, venue, title) to guide parsing.
  3. Click the Smart Calendars AI extension icon, login, start the processing.
  4. Review the preview and save: title, date/time, time zone, location, description with URLs, and suggested alerts.

You just cut a 3-minute chore to ~15 seconds.

What the Extension Extracts Automatically

Smart data extraction:

  • Titles & descriptions: Cleans noisy text; removes "marketing fluff."
  • Dates, times, and ranges: Understands "Aug 12, 10–11:30" and "every Tue/Thu."
  • Locations: Resolves addresses and venues; adds map links.
  • Meeting links: Pulls Zoom, Teams, Meet, Webex, and dial-ins into the description.
  • Attachments & codes: Ticket numbers, order IDs, door codes—stored where you'll need them.
  • People: Captures speakers/hosts (when present) into the notes field.

Result: Clean and structured events you'd be happy to share with your team, family and friends.

Real Examples You'll Use Every Week

Common use cases:

  • Tickets & reservations: Title, time, venue, confirmation code; add a "leave early" reminder.
  • Webinars & online meetings: Full video link + passcode in the description with a 30-min prep alert. For parsing meeting invitations directly from emails, see our [email to calendar integration guide](/en/articles/email-to-calendar-integration).
  • University pages: Convert multi-line schedules into recurring events with room numbers.
  • Conference agendas: Save sessions as individual events, complete with track, room, and map links.
  • Community classes: Parse "every Wednesday at 6pm" into a rule—no re-typing next month.

Multi-Event & Recurrence (Bulk Without the Bulldozer)

When a page lists several dates, the extension can:

  • Detect multiple events and let you select which to import.
  • Propose recurrence rules for patterns like "every Tuesday and Thursday through October."
  • Import many in one go; stay in control with a clear preview.

Available for all major browsers:
