How do I synchronize my calendar with other applications?

Your calendar can be exported and synced with the most popular calendar applications such as
  • Google calendar
  • Outlook.com Calendar
  • Yahoo! calendar
as well as most applications installed on your computer such as
  • Outlook
  • Thunderbird
This gives you the ability to import your calendar to those applications and have all your calendars in one place.

It also supports the iCal calendar feed format (also known as  iCalendar or ICS format).

Step 1:  Visit the Calendar and click on the export button on the top-right side of the screen 


1. Calendar: Click on 'Go to calendar'
2. Export: Click on 'Private address'
3. Private address: Copy the link.


Step 2: Select "Private address" and copy the URL provided. This is the Calendar's feed private URL and should
be provided with a Calendar app in order to import your events.


1. Reset private address: Click to reset address. Have in mind though, that resetting this URL will invalidate
   any existing private feeds already configured to calendar applications
2. Private address URL: Copy the following URL.

Not: Anyone who has access to this URL will be able to view your events. Thus, if you believe that this address is shared by accident to people that it shouldn't be, you can reset it by clicking the "Reset address" option.
