Calendar Feeds

To connect your TimeKeeper leave calendar to your Outlook, Google or Apple calendar, you'll need to subscribe to a calendar feed.

Connecting to Outlook Calendar


From the Calendar screen, click 'Add Calendar' then 'Subscribe from web'. Enter in the calendar feed link, then configure your calendar settings.





Why is my calendar not updating?



So with calendar feeds, we update the feed on our side instantly. However these feeds are 'pull only'. This means that your calendar software periodically checks and pulls the latest events from TimeKeeper. Depending on your provider, they may pull these feeds at different times.

For example, Google Calendar says it checks for updates on calendar feeds every 12 hours however we have seen feeds taking longer than this.

Unfortunately this means it's mostly a waiting game for the feed to update. Apple Calendar is hands downs the best as you can specify how often the feed refreshes.
