An iCalendar feed will allow you to include all campaign messages into another calendar without having to log in to Pyn. This is useful to know when thinking about when to schedule messages to large groups of employees or for working with different teams across your organization.

A user can add iCalendar feeds to any calendar that allows for external URL feeds. Examples of adding an iCal feed to some of the more well-known calendar systems are listed below.

It is important to note that changes made to scheduled messages in your Campaigns may take up to 24 hours to reflect in your calendar. Syncing your Campaign calendar is done by the individual calendar programs.

Once you add an iCal feed, the corresponding information will show in the calendar.

⚠️Google determines updates to an iCal feed within Google Calendar. Currently, these updates occur once every few hours. The initial import will update your Google Calendar with all current data when you enter the feed into Google.

Q: I linked the iCalender to my account, why aren’t the scheduled messages showing up on my team members calendar?

A: Each team member will need to add the iCalender link to their account. You can choose to make the calendar events public however this will only show when a team member searches for your calendar.

Q: I’ve made changes to the scheduled Campaign message and don’t see the changes reflected on my Calendar, what is happening?

A: Changes may take up to 24 hours to reflect in your calendar. Syncing your Campaign calendar is done by your individual calendar programs and timing can vary on seeing applied changes.

Q: Can I remove the iCalender link from my calendar?

A: Yes. Clicking the 'Remove feed' button will remove the feed. When a feed is removed:

subscribers to that feed will not receive updates

subscribers will see a "Not found" error message when they try to refresh the calendar

events created prior to clicking 'Remove feed' will remain until the subscriber removes the calendar

Q: What happens if I use the delete option in the Pyn iCalender link?

A: If you delete an iCal feed, it will remove any previously transferred data from your calendar program and will prevent any new information from syncing. To re-establish connection to your calendar you’d need to repeat the setup steps.

⚠️You may share your iCalendar link with members of your team, however we do not offer a way to remove someone’s access to viewing the calendar once they have added the link.
