Calendar Integrations
Connect your existing calendars and subscriptions, or import calendar data into Harmonise.
Before you begin
- A signed-in Harmonise account
Bring the calendars you already use into Harmonise so you can see your events, tasks, and plans together in one place.
You can connect Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook Calendar, Apple Calendar, Yahoo Calendar, and compatible CalDAV services. You can also subscribe to calendars using an ICS link or import events from an ICS file.
Calendar integrations synchronize calendar information and Events. Meeting integrations are separate: they connect services such as Google Meet, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or Discord so an Event can include managed online meeting details. Connecting Google Calendar or Microsoft Outlook Calendar does not automatically authorize Google Meet or Microsoft Teams. See Meeting Integrations for the separate setup.
Ways to add a calendar
Harmonise gives you several ways to add external calendar information.
Connect a calendar account
Connect your Google, Outlook, Apple, Yahoo, or CalDAV account if you want Harmonise to stay connected to the calendars you already use.
Once connected, Harmonise can keep supported events up to date between your calendar provider and Harmonise.
What you can change from Harmonise depends on the permissions you have for each calendar.
Subscribe to a calendar
You can subscribe to a calendar when another service gives you an ICS calendar link.
Subscribed calendars update automatically over time and are read-only in Harmonise.
This is useful for calendars you want to see alongside your plans without editing them, such as public schedules or shared calendar feeds.
Add a recommended calendar
Harmonise may also offer recommended public calendars that you can add directly.
Recommended calendars are read-only and update automatically.
Import an ICS file
If you have an ICS file, you can import its events into Harmonise.
An ICS import is a one-time copy. Changes made to the original file later will not automatically appear in Harmonise.
See Calendar integration types if you are unsure which option is right for you.
Connect a calendar account
On mobile
- Open Settings.
- Select Calendars.
- Find Calendar integrations.
- Choose the calendar provider you want to connect.
- Follow the instructions to connect your account.
You can connect more than one calendar account if your current Harmonise plan allows it.
Google, Outlook, Apple, Yahoo, and CalDAV connections share the same connected-account allowance.
Choose which calendars to use
After you connect an account, Harmonise will find the calendars available from that account.
You can then choose which calendars you want to use in Harmonise.
On mobile:
- Open Settings.
- Select Calendars.
- Select Edit.
From here, you can:
- Show or hide calendars
- Turn syncing on or off
- Choose an eligible default calendar
- Change the order of calendars shown in the Home calendar dropdown
Hiding a calendar removes it from your calendar view without disconnecting the account.
Turning off Sync stops that calendar from receiving new updates until you turn syncing on again.
See Choose which provider calendars to use for more information.
Choose where connected events appear
Connected calendars can be mapped to a calendar in Harmonise.
This lets you choose where events from an external calendar should appear within Harmonise.
Changing this setting does not rename, move, or change the original calendar with your calendar provider.
See Map an external calendar to Harmonise for more information.
Refresh your calendars
If you create, remove, rename, share, or change access to a calendar outside Harmonise, use Refresh calendars.
Harmonise will check your connected account again and update the calendars available to you.
If the calendar is already connected but its events appear out of date, use Sync now.
Updates from your calendar provider may sometimes take a short while to appear.
Editing connected events
Some connected calendars can be edited from Harmonise, while others are read-only.
For example, a calendar shared with you with view-only access may appear in Harmonise, but you will not be able to change its events.
If your calendar provider allows you to edit a calendar, Harmonise can also send supported event changes back to that provider.
Tasks created in Harmonise remain Harmonise Tasks. Connecting a calendar does not turn them into tasks from Google, Outlook, Apple, Yahoo, or another calendar provider.
Calendar names and colours
The name and colour of a connected calendar come from the original calendar provider.
If you want to change them, make the change in Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple Calendar, Yahoo Calendar, or your CalDAV service first.
Then use Refresh calendars in Harmonise to pick up the latest information.
Calendars created directly in Harmonise can be renamed and recoloured within Harmonise.
Stop syncing a calendar
If you no longer want updates from one connected calendar, you can turn Sync off for that calendar.
The calendar can remain connected and you can turn syncing back on later.
Disconnect a calendar account
To completely stop using an external account with Harmonise, choose Disconnect from its account card.
Disconnecting stops Harmonise from syncing with that account.
It does not delete the calendars or events stored with your original calendar provider.
If you have connected multiple accounts from the same provider, disconnecting one account does not affect the others.
