How to Connect Your iCloud Calendar with HeyClients
Overview
Before diving into the details of iCloud integration, it's essential to note a few key points:
- The iCloud Calendar integration is specifically designed for Round Robin, Collective, Class Booking, and Service Calendar.
- Two-way event sync is possible with iCloud integration: events created in HeyClients can sync to iCloud, and events created in iCloud can sync to HeyClients.
iCloud Integration is not supported for Simple or Event Calendars.
Data Flow: HeyClients to iCloud
When events are created in HeyClients and synced to iCloud:
- Any changes made in HeyClients will be reflected in the connected iCloud calendar for the user.
- Any changes made in iCloud calendar will be reflected in the HeyClients calendar (excluding event deletions).
This ensures that events created or modified in the HeyClients app are seamlessly pushed to your iCloud calendar, and vice versa.
If an event is deleted in the iCloud calendar, it will not be updated in the HeyClients Calendar. This is a limitation with the iCloud Integration.
Additionally, blocked off slots created in the HeyClients calendar will not sync to iCloud.
Data Flow: iCloud to HeyClients
When events are created in iCloud and pushed to HeyClients:
- Any changes made in iCloud calendar will be reflected in the HeyClients calendar
- Any changes made in HeyClients calendar will be reflected in iCloud.
For example, if you create an appointment in iCloud, such as "Pick John from school," it will also be synced and shown in the HeyClients calendar, and any subsequent changes made in iCloud will be mirrored in the HeyClients Calendar application.
Important Information Specifically for the iCloud Integration
Contact creation from iCloud events to HeyClients is not supported. This also means that all events coming in from iCloud are treated as Blocked Slots, not appointments.
If a Blocked slot is created in the HeyClients calendar for a user, this will not sync to the iCloud calendar.
Integration with a subscription calendar is not possible. This means that HeyClients cannot connect to iCloud calendars that you have subscribed to via URL (usually public calendars).
