This article will guide you through integrating your Apple Calendar (iCal) with Delenta for seamless scheduling and conflict checking.
Step-by-Step Connection Guide:
Enable iCal Integration:
Navigate to your Coach Portal.
Go to the Integrations page.
Find the iCal option and click the toggle switch to enable it.
2. Enter Apple Calendar Credentials:
In the calendar settings, enter your iCloud Email and an App-Specific Password.
Click Connect.
Important Note: You must use an App-Specific Password, not your regular iCloud password, for this connection. App-specific passwords provide secure access for third-party applications.
Need to generate an App-Specific Password? Follow Apple's instructions here.
3. Select Calendars for Conflict Checking (Read):
Once successfully connected, a pop-up will display a list of your Apple Calendar folders.
From this list, select the calendar(s) you want Delenta to read from for checking your availability and conflicts.
4. Choose Calendar for Publishing Events (Write):
From the 'Publish Event To' dropdown menu, select the single calendar where you want Delenta to write new events..
Note: If you wish for Delenta to add events to your Apple Calendar, you must first designate your Apple Calendar as your primary calendar within Delenta's settings.
5. Save and Verify:
Once all your calendar settings are configured, click Save.
Navigate to your Delenta Calendar page to view your Apple Calendar events populated according to your new settings.
Key Information:
Single iCal Integration: Currently, Delenta supports integrating only one Apple Calendar (iCal) account at a time.
Multiple Calendar Sources: You can, however, connect your iCal account alongside multiple Google and Outlook calendars, allowing Delenta to read availability from all of them for comprehensive conflict checking.
