Calendar Set Up Overview
You can use the Astalty Calendar straight away. Connecting an external calendar is optional, and lets you see your Google or Outlook events in Astalty and send your Astalty events to Google or Outlook. To set it up:
- Connect your Google or Microsoft account.
- Choose the External Calendars you want to see in the Astalty Calendar.
- Choose your Main External Calendar, which receives the events you create in Astalty.
All three are done from your own profile: select your name at the bottom of the left-hand menu, then My Profile. The Integrations and Calendar tabs appear only on your own profile, so each user connects their own account and nobody can connect a calendar for someone else. The tabs need the Calendar, which is part of Astalty Premium and is not available to Support Workers.
External Calendar Integration
Open the Integrations tab. Select Connect on the Google Integration or Microsoft Integration card.
Sign in and allow the access Google or Microsoft asks for. Once the connection succeeds, select Configure your Google Integration or Configure your Microsoft Integration. Astalty opens the Calendar tab, where you select the External Calendars you would like to see within your Astalty Calendar and your Main External Calendar. Selected external-calendar events are displayed in Astalty. Events created or updated in Astalty sync to the selected writable main external calendar. Edit Astalty-created events in Astalty; changes made only to their external copies do not update the Astalty record.
