Link to Starts At using URL parameters
You can link to Starts At without using our form and instead using parameters in the URL. This is handy if you want to programatically include Starts At links many times throughout a website. The following features, however, are not available using this method: event description, event URL, and all premium features.
Parameter values must be URL encoded. In our documentation, however, we show both unencoded and encoded values for clarity.
These examples show the many ways you can link to Starts At.

The tz parameter can be the long name of any timezone from the dropdown menu on Starts At.
