The uConnect platform supports iCal feeds and can now integrate with Google calendar feeds by creating a new URL that can be synced with your platform. This is a great way to showcase events from the school that are outside of Career Services, but still relevant to your stakeholders. When setting this up with your Client Onboarding Specialist (or your Customer Success Manager post-launch) you have the option to [map to your communities and] auto-publish events, or leave them as pending so you can select specific events to publish in the platform. Learn about how to do this below!
Step One: Log into Google Calendar and locate "My Calendars"
First you’ll need to log into to Google Calendar and locate ‘My Calendars’ on the left hand side menu. Find the calendar you wish to sync with uConnect and click on the 3 ellipses on the right side.
Step Two: After clicking on the three ellipses, 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 please make sure to copy the URL that ends .ics
Step Five: Submit a Support Request
From there, please submit a support request with the new calendar URL and we'll add it to your platform!
