Slate allows users to add external iCal feeds into Slate Events and Scheduler. Users can easily add institutional calendars, staff calendars and more, directly into Slate including any free/busy information.

🔔 Important!

When adding a web calendar, it will be added to both the Events and Scheduler calendars; these cannot be separated.

Your institution's policies might prohibit sharing Outlook Calendar Feeds. If you do not see the option to Publish a calendar in Outlook, your institution's IT department may need to enable external calendar sharing before you can sync your iCal feeds into Slate Events and Scheduler. You can read more about Outlook calendar sharing on support.microsoft.com.

The US Holiday iCal is automatically available in Slate.
