Instructions for when the ICS feed is not updating in a third party program
When you create an appointment StudioCloud automatically updates the ICS feed to have the latest appointments. However, almost all third party programs have a default refresh time before they update. There are two possible problems that could be occuring: - The third party program takes a long time to refresh. Some programs refresh every 5 minutes others can take up to 5 hours.
- Verify how long your program waits before refreshing. Often times this can be changed to refresh more often.
- The third party program is not updating with the new calendar. (The third party program is not downloading the StudioCloud ICS feed)
- The third party program is updating but it is not showing future appointments.
