It shows your cover image and logo, the event type and name, the date and time, your social icons, your notes, the address, the organizer and the **Good to know** list. People can: * Tap **Calendar** to download the event as a calendar file (`.ics`) with its name, time, address, notes and a link to the page. * Tap **Directions** to open the address in Google Maps. * Tap **Share** to send the page to someone else. If the phone can't share, the link is copied. * Tap a phone number or email under the organizer to call or write. * Tap the ticket button at the bottom of the screen to open your ticket or RSVP page. The calendar file uses the time zone of the browser you created the QR code in, so the event lands at the right time in every guest's calendar. Because the code points to a page, you can change the details after printing and everyone sees the new version. Every scan is counted in [analytics](/analytics/overview). ## Use cases * Print it on invitations for weddings, birthdays and parties. * Put it on posters and flyers for concerts, festivals and markets. * Add it to conference badges, programs and signs with the venue and schedule. * Link workshops, meetups and classes to their ticket or RSVP page. ## Common issues > **Event name is required** > > Type a name for your event in **Event name**. > **Start date is required / End date is required** > > Pick both a start and an end under **Date & time**. > **End must be after the start** > > **End** is the same as or earlier than **Start**. Pick a later end time, or a later day for events that end after midnight. > **City is required / Country is required** > > Fill in **City** and **Country** under **Address**. With **Maps link**, this message means the link or place you picked has no city or country. Try another link, or switch to **Manual** and type the address. > **Please enter a valid URL** > > The ticket **Link** isn't a valid web address. Paste the full address of your ticket or RSVP page, for example `https://tickets.example.com`. > **Please enter a valid email address** > > Check the organizer **Email** for typos, for example a missing `@` or domain. > **Maximum 40 characters allowed** > > Address fields and phone numbers accept up to 40 characters. Shorten the value. > **Each social platform can only be added once.** > > You added the same platform twice. Remove the extra one. > **Image file size must be less than 5MB** > > Your cover image or logo is too large. Resize or compress it, then upload it again. > **I can't pick a date in the past** > > The calendar starts at today, and **End** can't be on a day before **Start**.
