Note: Events is no longer a feature for accounts signed up after September 15th, 2018

Subscribe to iCal can be used to sync Brightpod’s Calendar with Google Calendar, Outlook (most versions), and other calendar service that supports “iCal”.

Choose which information to sync

You can choose to see:

  • All information available to you
  • Only information relevant to you
  • Only events

In Calendar Settings whether you want to sync all of the information on the calendar, or just your pods and tasks.

Everyone will show all information available to you based on your permission level (administrator, team member, freelancer, or client.)

Just Mine will show only what is relevant to you, such as pods you are invited to and tasks that are assigned to you. This also depends on your permission level. Learn more about how your permission level affects what you can see on a synced calendar

Tip: You can opt for everyone first, then change it to just mine later, but it can take several hours for Google or Outlook to sync your calendar to your setting.

Your calendar’s iCal links are located on the right hand sidebar under the calendar tab.

Choose if you want to subscribe to both tasks and events, or just events. Subscribe to iCal will subscribe you to both tasks and events. Subscribe to iCal (Events Only) will only display events. Events are separate from pods and are only able to be created on the calendar.
