In Studo it is possible to integrate external calendars from Google, iCloud or Outlook directly into the Studo calendar 📆 with just 5 clicks!
The appointments are automatically synchronised: If a new appointment is created or an appointment is edited in the imported calendar, these changes are automatically synchronised in the Studo Calendar 🙂

How does it work?
Appointments can be synchronised between different calendars using the ical standard. The released ical URL can then be integrated into Studo. Studo automatically updates the saved appointments. For example, your duty rosters, your club appointments or the appointments shared with friends always stay up to date.
Ical URLs can be imported into Studo. Already downloaded .ics or ical files cannot be imported because they cannot be automatically synchronised. Therefore import the public URL of the calendar.
Any calendar that supports this ical standard (often referred to as webcal or ics) can now be integrated in Studo! 🙌
Help, I see the appointments for the imported calendar, but no titles 😱
With some calendar applications (such as Outlook) you can set whether you only want to publish the availability or the titles in the ical link. If you only see the titles of the imported appointments in Studo, please check the publish options and generate a new ical URL if necessary.
Can I also export the Studo calendar to the Android / iOS calendar?
The Studo calendar consists of four sources:
A) Your appointments entered personally in the Studo calendar.
B) Holidays (public dates).
C) Dates of your imported calendars.
D) Your university appointments.
An export with always up-to-date dates is only possible via an ical link. This means that all the dates necessary for exporting should be saved on Studo servers. However, since your university appointments are only cached locally on the end device of your device and are not stored on Studo servers, they cannot be exported.
Have fun with this new calendar feature!
