Our goal at Cushion is to give you visibility and control over your bills, and we are excited to announce that you are now able to seamlessly auto-sync all the bills from your Cushion dashboard to your Google calendar or manually export them to your calendar of choice!
To seamlessly export your Cushion bills to your Google calendar, follow the steps in the drop-down below!
Manual Exporting:
For manually exporting your Cushion calendar: you can either export it to your existing calendar or create a brand new one.
An existing calendar is one that you're already using: it likely includes your social events, personal appointments, and birthdays. If you add Cushion to this calendar, you will have both your personal events and Cushion bill information in one place.
Alternatively, if you prefer to keep your bills separate from other events, you can create a new calendar solely for your Cushion bills.
For manual export, follow the instructions for the calendar app that you use most frequently:
