To integrate a Google Calendar with uConnect, make the calendar public in Google Calendar settings, copy its iCal (.ics) URL, and submit a support request with that URL. uConnect will add the feed to your platform, with the option to auto-publish events or leave them as pending for manual selection. This integration allows institutions to surface events from across campus that fall outside of Career Services but remain relevant to students, alumni, and other stakeholders. When setting this up with your Client Onboarding Specialist (or your Customer Success Manager post-launch) you have the option to auto-publish events, or leave them as pending so you can select specific events to publish in the platform. The steps below outline how to complete this configuration.
Step One: Log into Google Calendar and locate "My Calendars"
Log into Google Calendar. On the left-hand side menu, locate My Calendars. Find the calendar you wish to sync with uConnect, then click the three ellipses (⋯) icon on its right side.
Step two: Select Settings and Sharing
Step Three: Next confirm that the calendar settings are set to Public
Step Four: Navigate to Calendar Settings and click on Integrate Calendar
You can locate this setting on the left side of the screen:
Look for the field labeled “Public Address in iCal format” and copy the URL — make sure it ends in .ics.
Step Five: Submit a Support Request
From there, please submit a support request with the new calendar URL and the uConnect team will complete the integration on your platform.
