A few weeks ago, we told you about our plans to improve and redesign our website. The new and improved Flogs.com is now live. We’d like to tell you about some recent changes, and show you the features that we’re excited about. We think you’ll like them, too.


Quite a bit has changed, and we want you to know about the things that are most important.

Fair is Fair
Every Flogs user and subscriber is unique, and every customer has different needs. We’ve split our services into categories, based on features, usage, traffic and other data. Subscribing to Flogs calendars will still be free, but we’ve established new account plans for companies who host their calendars and events with us. Choose the account plan that’s right for you.

Cool new features
We don’t just offer unmatched calendar synchronization services. We’ve also got some cool new features we think you’ll love:

Easy calendar import
Flogs is a fully supported tool for your event management. CMS integrations and access to our API are standard in our packages. 

Add and edit events at any time. Our technology will synchronize your changes to keep your subscribers’ calendars up-to-date.

Gain Insight
See how many subscribers your calendar has gained over time. Adjust your widget placement or improve communication to increase the numbers. 

Get statistics about the platforms your subscribers use most. Is it Outlook, iCal or something else? And more.

Embed
Embed your calendar directly into your website or applications by using your CMS. Simply copy and paste your calendar widget code and start attracting subscribers. 

Want to get the most subscribers to your calendar? It’s all about where you embed your widget and how to activate it.

What does it all mean?
If you host your event calendars on Flogs.com, and you’re over any of the limits set in our Free package, you’ll get an email from us soon, asking whether you want to upgrade your service or keep it the way it is.
In the meantime, we hope you enjoy the new Flogs.com. If you have any questions or suggestions,please let us know.
