Questions about event QR codes
Which calendar apps work?
Most import vCalendar; test your audience platforms.
Can I add reminders?
Some formats support alarms; verify in preview apps.
All-day events?
Use date-only fields supported by the generator form.
Recurring events?
Complex recurrence may exceed QR size; link to a calendar subscription URL instead.
Can attendees decline?
The QR only adds an event; RSVP needs a separate link.
