Revisual – Event Communication for Google Calendar & Outlook

Описание

A great event still falls flat if the calendar says one thing and the flyer says another. Revisual closes that gap.

Your calendar is already where your events live — whether that’s Google Calendar or Microsoft Outlook (Microsoft 365). Revisual transforms it into a complete event communication system, distributing your programme automatically across your website, printed materials, partner sites, emails, and more. One update in your calendar, and every channel stays in sync.

🎯 The Problem Revisual Solves

Event information is hard to keep consistent across channels. A time changes, a venue updates, a new session is added — and suddenly your website says one thing, your printed flyer says another, and your email said something else entirely.

Revisual makes your calendar the single source of truth, then handles all the distribution for you. No copy-pasting. No manual updates across five platforms. No events that fall through the cracks.

📅 Works With the Calendar You Already Use

  • Google Calendar — connect one or more calendars from your Google account.
  • Microsoft Outlook (Microsoft 365) — connect your Outlook calendar and keep managing events exactly where your team already does.

Your team keeps working in the calendar they know. Revisual handles the publishing.

🏢 Built for Microsoft 365 Organisations Too

Schools, universities, councils, associations and hotel groups often run on Microsoft 365. Until now, getting Outlook events onto a public website meant publishing the calendar as a plain HTML page, pasting an iframe, or copying events into the website by hand.

With Revisual, you connect Outlook once and your events appear on WordPress as branded, mobile-friendly event calendars — plus QR codes, email embeds and hosted pages — all kept up to date automatically.

🌐 One Calendar. Every Channel.

Revisual connects your calendar to the channels your audience actually uses:

  • Your website — beautiful, always-updated event widgets embedded with a shortcode or Gutenberg block
  • Partner and affiliate sites — embed your calendar on multiple sites simultaneously; all stay in sync automatically
  • Printed materials — QR codes that link directly to your live event listings, so even printed content stays fresh
  • Email campaigns — shareable hosted event pages you can link to from any email or newsletter
  • Kiosks and displays — simple script embed works anywhere, no WordPress required

🎯 Perfect For

Revisual is designed for anyone who runs events and wants their audience to always know what’s happening — across every touchpoint.

  • Hotels & hospitality — Communicate your events programme to guests before arrival, on-property, and after checkout. Turn your event calendar into a differentiator, not an afterthought.
  • Event creators — Share events widely, drive attendees back to your website for details, registration, and updates.
  • Coaches, trainers & educators — Promote classes, workshops, and webinars from a single calendar. Keep participants informed across email, your website, and social.
  • Schools & universities — Publish open days, performances and public events from the Google or Microsoft 365 calendars staff already use.
  • Non-profits & community organisations — Keep members informed without manual work. One update reaches every channel automatically.
  • Clubs & associations — Make meetings, sessions, and gatherings easy to discover and attend.
  • Creative professionals — Showcase performances, exhibitions, and shows across multiple platforms. QR codes on printed materials stay live even after the programme changes.
  • Multi-site publishers & agencies — Manage event communication across multiple client sites from one place, whether each client runs Google Calendar or Outlook.
  • Municipalities & cultural institutions — Run city-wide or institution-wide event campaigns from a single shared calendar, reaching audiences across all your channels.

🔒 Performance & Security

Revisual is designed to be fast, reliable, and secure. Your WordPress site never stores event data — all events are fetched via a secure API from your Revisual account. This keeps your site lightweight and ensures it won’t be slowed down by event queries.

Embedding is simple: a tiny script or WordPress block pulls events dynamically without impacting your site’s performance. Revisual handles caching on its side, so events load instantly for visitors.

All connections are encrypted. No visitor data is collected. No cookies are tracked.

External services

Revisual connects to the Revisual API to pull your event widgets and ensure seamless syncing between your WordPress site and your Revisual account.

Here’s exactly what happens and why:

  • Your WordPress site sends basic information to the Revisual API:

    • WordPress version
    • Site name
    • Site URL
  • Purpose:

    • To generate a unique API key for your site
    • To securely fetch your event data and widgets from Revisual
    • To ensure your events are always up-to-date and display correctly
  • Data privacy and security:

    • Revisual never shares your data with third parties
    • No cookies are tracked by Revisual
    • No personal or identifying information from site visitors is collected
    • Data is transmitted securely via encrypted API connections
    • Fully compliant with EU privacy regulations (GDPR)
    • Your WordPress site data is only used for connecting and syncing widgets

The plugin itself never connects to Google or Microsoft. Your calendar connection is set up and managed in your Revisual account, not in WordPress.

This setup allows Revisual to function as a lightweight, performance-friendly layer: events are served directly from Revisual servers, keeping your website fast while enabling sharing across multiple sites, emails, and other channels.

This service is provided by «Revisual»: Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

Часто задаваемые вопросы

Is this plugin free?

YES! Revisual is completely free to use. You don’t need a paid plan to get started — all essential features are included in the free plan.

Which calendars can I connect?

Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook (Microsoft 365). Choose your calendar when you set up your Revisual account. The WordPress plugin, widgets, QR codes and hosted pages work the same way whichever calendar you use.

I manage events in Outlook. Can I show them on my WordPress site?

Yes. Connect your Outlook calendar to Revisual, design a widget, and embed it with the Revisual block or shortcode. When you add, move or cancel an event in Outlook, your website updates automatically — no publishing the calendar as HTML, no iframes, no copying events by hand.

How does the plugin work exactly?

Revisual does not store any event data on your WordPress site. It securely connects to your Revisual account and fetches events from there. Manage your events in Google Calendar or Outlook, and they automatically update everywhere Revisual is embedded.

Why does Revisual store data on its server instead of WordPress?

All event data is stored on Revisual servers so that your events stay consistent across every channel — your website, partner sites, QR codes, and hosted pages — without any syncing issues or data duplication.

Do I need the Revisual plugin to make it work?

No. Revisual works independently. The WordPress plugin simply makes it easier to embed your events on WordPress sites via shortcodes or Gutenberg blocks. For non-WordPress sites, use the simple script embed.

Can I customize the look of the widget?

Yes. The Revisual widget builder gives you full control over colors, fonts, layouts, and branding — with over 250 built-in customization options. Most sites won’t need any custom code.

Can I embed widgets on multiple websites?

Yes. You can embed your widgets on multiple pages, posts, and across different websites. All of them update automatically whenever you make a change in your calendar.

Does Revisual slow down my site?

No. Revisual is lightweight and only renders events on the front-end. Shortcodes or blocks convert into embeddable code without impacting WordPress performance, regardless of how many visitors you have.

Can I use Revisual for printed materials?

Yes. Revisual generates QR codes that link directly to your live event listings. This means printed materials — flyers, posters, programmes — stay accurate even after events change, because the QR code always points to the live version.

Can I customize the hosted event pages?

Yes. Hosted event pages are fully customizable. You can also redirect them to your own URLs if needed.

Does Revisual work with caching plugins?

Revisual has its own built-in caching and does not require external caching. Using caching plugins may interfere with real-time event updates, so it is recommended to exclude Revisual from your caching plugin’s rules.

Is developer customization possible?

Yes. Revisual outputs HTML + CSS, so developers can add custom styles as needed. With 250+ built-in options, most sites won’t need extra code.

How often does syncing happen?

Changes in your calendar are synced automatically — for Google Calendar, usually within seconds of a change being made. You can also trigger a manual sync from your Revisual dashboard at any time.

Can I see how my events are performing?

Yes. Revisual includes an Event Engagement report that shows impressions, views, and an engagement ratio for every event — broken down by traffic source (widget, direct link, QR code, or email). It’s available on your dashboard and as a full report, on every plan, at no extra cost.
