Import Force8 Coach calendar into personal calendar

You can use the iCal function to import your Force8 Coach calendar into your personal calendar (e.g. Google, Outlook, Apple).

Proceed as follows:

• For coaches: Click on your name in the top right-hand corner and select COACH PROFILE.
• For athletes: Click on your name in the top right-hand corner and select ATHLETES PROFILE (or DASHBOARD – CALENDAR).

Then click on the “iCal button” at the top right of the overview and copy the link that appears in the window.

In the following sections, we explain how you can add this link in the most common calendar apps.

Google Calendar

Web App / Desktop App

1. Open your Google Calendar and log in
2. Click on the “+ symbol” to the right of “Other calendars” and select “From URL”
3. Paste the copied iCal link and confirm with “Add calendar”

Very important: With Google Calendar, the synchronization of iCal subscriptions can take a different amount of time. Typically, the update takes place every 12 to 24 hours, but Google does not guarantee a fixed period for iCal subscriptions. Changes in external iCal calendars therefore do not appear immediately, but with a certain delay.

Tip: Click on the “three dots” to the right of the added calendar and select “Settings”. Under “Other notifications”, you can set whether you want to be notified of changes to events, for example.

Mobile App

It is not possible to add an iCal link directly in the Google Calendar app on your smartphone. However, as soon as you have added the iCal link in the web version, the calendar automatically synchronizes with the Google Calendar app on your smartphone.

Windows Outlook

Web App / Windows Desktop App

1. Open your Outlook calendar and log in
2. Click on “Add calendar” on the left and select “Subscribe from web”
3. Paste the copied link, give the calendar a name and confirm with “Import”

Very important: In Outlook, iCal subscriptions are usually updated every 3 to 24 hours. The exact time interval may vary. Microsoft does not give a fixed guarantee for the update frequency of subscribed iCal calendars.

Mobile App

In the Outlook app on your smartphone, you cannot add a calendar directly via an iCal link. The Outlook app itself does not offer this function. If you have added the calendar in the web version, the calendar will now be integrated into your Outlook account and will also appear in the Outlook app on your smartphone.

Apple Calendar

Desktop App

1. Open the calendar app on your Mac
2. Go to FILE and select NEW CALENDAR SUBSCRIPTION
3. Enter the copied link and confirm with “Subscribe”
4. In the window that appears, you can enter a name for the calendar and select the update period. Confirm with “Ok”.

Mobile App

1. Open the “Settings app” on your device
2. Go to “Apps” and then to” Calendar“
3. Select “Calendar Accounts” and then “Add Account”
4. Click on “Other” and then tap on “Add Subscribed Calendar”
5. Paste the iCal link into the URL field and click “Next”
6. Give the calendar a name and tap on “Save”
