Use URL parameters to link to Dateful Eventlink
You can link to Dateful Eventlink without using our form and instead using parameters in the URL. This is handy if you want to programatically include links many times throughout a website or email list. The following features, however, are not available using this method: event description, event URL, add to calendar, recurring dates, and custom image.
Parameter values must be URL encoded. In our documentation, however, we show both unencoded and encoded values for clarity.
For a more professional look we sell a commercial version of this service without an advertisement or Dateful branding. We can set this up in less than an hour during Pacific Time daytime hours if you contact us at sales@dateful.com.
