Live export feed for iCal, Google, etc

[Jennifer Paganessi]

Is there a way to export a live sync link for customers to import our events into their calendar?

I see the export does export the events for import into a calendar but I was wondering if there was a way to make a subscribe link so the events would sync.

Thanks!

Hey Jen,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

You can get a feed for the events by visiting your calendar page and adding “?ical=1” to the end of the url (http://example.com/events/?ical=1).

This will typically provide the upcoming month worth of events. However, you can extend that by using a snippet such as:

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks!

Would this be for a one time feed or would this change when the calendar is changed?

Hey Jennifer,

This feed will respond with all the events a year from the date that it is requested. So, anything new that is added will be supplied when

However, if this URL is being supplied to another calendar for import, that system will need to continually request that information and have a way to import anything that is new from the previous import. For example, if importing via URL into Google Calendar, it does look like this request is handled automatically.

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks!

Perfect, thanks!

Hey Jennifer,

No problem. Happy to help!

I’ll go ahead and close this thread for now. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to open a new one.
