Import Calendar Information from Google Calendar*

Overview

The "Import Calendar from ICS" field allows a business to import a third-party calendar into StudioCloud.

Warning

The ICS file does not contain sufficient information to prevent double entry of calendar events when importing a file into StudioCloud. In addition, ICS files cannot be exported in portions which means every time a calendar is imported all the events associated with that calendar will show up within StudioCloud. As such, StudioCloud recommends only importing the ICS file once to prevent duplicate calendar events.

How to Adjust Google Calendar Permissions to Export The Calendar If The ICS File Is Empty
