From Halloween through New Year's, Agenda Hero helps you keep every holiday plan in one place. Forward school newsletters and party invitations to [email protected], and Agenda Hero emails the events back to you within minutes. Screenshot a holiday market or light show you see online and upload it. Then add everything to Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook, or Agenda Hero, share a holiday schedule with family and friends, and, on the Family plan, set text reminders so nothing slips.
Why plan the holidays in your calendar?
Doesn't it feel like we were just heading back to school or enjoying the last few days of summer?
Believe it or not, the holiday season is already here. Halloween kicks things off next week, and before we know it, our calendars fill up with Thanksgiving gatherings, Friendsgiving, holiday parades, school parties, fundraisers, cookie swaps, gift exchanges, visits with Santa, light shows, and celebrations for Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, and the New Year.
There is so much to look forward to, and so much to keep track of, especially if you have school-age kids.
We want to help you spend less time managing the holiday season and more time enjoying it.
- From your inbox: Forward newsletters, invitations, and reminders, and get the events back.
- From your feed: Screenshot an event you see on social media, and turn it into a calendar event.
- One schedule for everyone: Share your holiday plans so the whole group sees the same thing.
- A nudge when it counts: On the Family plan, get a text before the gift exchange or the dessert you promised to bring.
- The calendar you already use: Send events to Google, Apple, Outlook, or Agenda Hero.
The holidays should be about making memories, not spending hours managing calendars.
How do I turn holiday emails into calendar events?
- Find the email, like a school concert notice, a party invitation, or a holiday fundraiser reminder.
- Forward it to [email protected].
- Check your inbox.
- Open the results, review them, and add them to Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook, or Agenda Hero.
Tip: Save [email protected] as a contact so it's there whenever you hit Forward.
How do I add an event I saw on social media?
Scrolling and see a holiday market, a light show, or an event you want to go to? Take a screenshot, then upload it in the Agenda Hero app or at agendahero.com/magic. Agenda Hero turns it into a calendar event you can add to your calendar.
How do I share a holiday schedule with family and friends?
Hosting a cookie swap, organizing Friendsgiving, or coordinating your family's holiday plans? Put it all in one Agenda Hero calendar and share it. Here's an example of upcoming holiday craft fairs in New Hampshire.
- Invite people directly by email as viewers or editors.
- Or publish the calendar to a link anyone can view.
- Want it on the fridge? Print it from a printable view. Printable views update automatically when your plans change.
Can I get text reminders for holiday plans?
Yes, on the Family plan. Set text reminders for the gift exchange, the dessert you promised to bring, or the donation you volunteered to pick up. Text reminders go to US phone numbers.
