# Calendar Sync

Subscribe to your church's schedule from your own Google, Apple or Outlook calendar, so
services, ministry activities and small-group meetings show up automatically alongside the
rest of your life — without opening HolyCRM to check.

## Getting your link

On the [Calendar](#/calendar) screen, open **More options → Subscribe → Get calendar
link**. You'll get two versions of the same link:

- **Open in Calendar app** — on a phone or Mac, this subscribes directly; use this one
  first.
- **Copy link** — the plain web address, for pasting into a calendar app's own "subscribe
  from URL" field (Google Calendar's web interface wants this form, for example).

If a link you pasted somewhere also offers "Open in Calendar app," prefer that one — some
apps treat a plain web link to a calendar file ambiguously, both downloading a one-time
copy *and* starting a live subscription, which can briefly show up as two calendars (one
of them empty) until you delete the extra one.

## What's included

Events, ministry activities (one-time and weekly recurring) and small groups with a
meeting day set — scoped to your one church, kept up to date automatically as your
calendar app refreshes the feed (typically every few hours, not instantly). Rota
assignments and role requirements are left out on purpose — that's internal scheduling
detail, not something you'd want cluttering a personal calendar.

## If you need to turn it off

Ask an Administrator to **regenerate** the link from the Calendar screen. This immediately
invalidates every previously-shared link, including yours, so anyone who wants to keep
seeing updates needs to subscribe again with the new one. Use this if a link was shared
somewhere it shouldn't have been.
