Syncing your schedule using an iCalendar gadget (often called an iCal feed, widget, or subscription link) allows you to automatically pull calendar data from an external platform into your preferred calendar application. This system ensures that shifts, bookings, or timetables stay updated without requiring you to manually re-enter data. 🗺️ Step 1: Copy Your iCalendar Feed Link
Before configuring your gadget or app, you must retrieve the unique web link generated by your external schedule provider (such as a work portal, airline, school timetable, or booking site): Log into your scheduling platform.
Find the sharing options, which are usually labeled “Calendar Sync,” “Export Feed,” “iCal Feed,” or “Subscribe.”
Click the option and copy the long web address provided. It will generally begin with webcal:// or https:// and end with .ics. ⚙️ Step 2: Add the Feed to Your Preferred Calendar App
Once you have the link, you can add it to your daily digital calendar so that it automatically updates. Google Calendar (Web & Android) Open Google Calendar in a desktop web browser.
Look at the left sidebar and find the “Other calendars” section. Click the plus (+) icon next to it. Select “From URL” from the drop-down menu. Paste your copied iCal link and click “Add calendar.” Apple Calendar (iPhone & iPad) Create an iCalendar Feed – BambooHR
