<p>This is definitely possible, but depends on your use case. For
example, you can:</p>
<ul>
<li>Have Cascade generate an <code>.ics</code> or
<code>.ical</code> output for each individual event and provide a
link for the user to download the file. If they have a calendar
application installed, this should allow them to add the event;
otherwise, they should be able to import it into their online
calendar (e.g. Google calendar). You would essentially mimic the
iCal output on the <code>index</code> page, but just for the single
event instead of all events</li>
<li>Use a third party service to generate the "add to calendar"
functionality and simply pass data about the event to the service
using a Format</li>
<li>Similar to the above item, create a script on your website that
generates a file or hooks into a third party service based on
passed information about your event</li>
</ul>
