How to use the Events Feed plugin

Sync an external calendar into your app so events display automatically in a calendar view.

The Events Feed plugin allows you to display events from an external calendar directly in your app. Users see a calendar view with today’s date highlighted and can tap on any event to view details like title, date, time, timezone, and description. Each event also includes a button to add it to the user’s personal calendar. Updates to your external calendar automatically sync into the app.

Requirements

  • This is a Boost plugin, available on the Standard, Growth, and Scale plans.

  • An external calendar that provides an iCal feed link (use the “secret address in iCal format”).

Pro tips

  • Use the “secret iCal address” from Google Calendar or Outlook to ensure updates sync properly.

  • Test by adding a sample event to your external calendar and confirming it appears in the app after validation.
