Connect a calendar
Step 1 of 3
- Open Integrations, Calendars section.
- Pick your calendar.
- Copy its iCal link (the steps show on screen, see below), paste it under iCal link, then click Connect.
Where to find the iCal link
- Google Calendar: Settings → pick the calendar on the left → “Integrate calendar” → copy the “Secret address in iCal format”.
- iCloud Calendar (Mac, iPhone or iCloud.com): share the calendar, tick “Public Calendar”, then copy the webcal:// link.
- Outlook: Settings → Calendar → Shared calendars → “Publish a calendar” → copy the ICS link.
- Any other service: paste the .ics (or webcal://) address it gives you.
Good to know
- The calendar shows Read-only: InboxBriefs reads it and never writes to it.
- Options: Rename, pick its colour, Turn reminders on (an email before each event) or Turn reminders off, Disconnect.
- In the Planner, External calendars gives the same settings.
For the other way round — seeing your InboxBriefs tasks in Google Calendar or Apple Calendar — see Your tasks in your calendar.
