Calendars

Calendars subscribes to outside calendars by their iCal (.ics) link, so their events show up in Events.

1. Under Subscribe to a calendar, enter a Name, for example “Work calendar”.
2. Paste the iCal URL. In Google Calendar it is the “Secret address in iCal format”. In Outlook, publish the calendar and copy the ICS link.
3. Click Subscribe. The first sync runs within two minutes.

Each row shows the event count and the last sync time. Use the sync button to pull now.

Subscriptions are read-only. Nothing is written back to the source, and an edit made in Mantle is overwritten at the next sync. Change those events where they live.

Assistant

• “What’s on this week?”
• “Am I free Thursday afternoon?”
• “Book the site visit for Tuesday at nine.”

New events the assistant makes go into your own calendar in Events, not into a subscribed one.

Technical

• Every enabled calendar syncs every two minutes.
• Synced events are normal event nodes, tagged with the calendar’s name. Events removed from the feed are removed here.
• If a sync fails, the last good events stay and the row shows the error.
• Synced events get no Mantle reminder. The source calendar sends its own.
• A secret iCal link lets anyone who has it read the calendar. Treat it like a password.
