Addevent.com direct URL method (Dynamic)
AddEvent also offers a Dynamic Add to Calendar button where event details are passed as URL parameters - ideal for appointment confirmation pages where every user has a unique event.
Manual .ics file
Generate an iCalendar (.ics) file and offer it as a download link. Free, no third-party dependency, but requires technical setup and cannot be updated after distribution.
