With a calendar feed, you can automatically synchronize your Catermonkey calendar with Outlook, Apple Calendar, or Google Calendar.
You can also choose which criteria to include, for example, only confirmed orders.
Step 1: Create a New Calendar Feed
Click on Calendar in the left-hand menu.
On the right, click Tools → Calendar Link (Outlook, Apple, Google).
Click + Create calendar feed with other criteria.
A new feed will appear at the bottom. Click the pencil icon to give it a name.
Click the folder with a check mark icon in the feed.
Check only the criteria you want to display (e.g. Confirmed only).
Click Search: your calendar feed is now created.
Click the duplicate icon to copy the feed link.
Step 2: Link the Calendar to Your Own System
Outlook (Desktop)
Open Outlook and go to Calendar.
Click Add Calendar → Subscribe via the Internet.
Paste the copied URL into the field.
Click Import.
Apple Calendar (Mac)
Open the Calendar app on your Mac.
In the menu bar, click File → New Calendar Subscription.
Paste the Catermonkey URL and click Subscribe.
Choose an update frequency and click OK.
Google Calendar
Go to Google Calendar.
In the left-hand menu, click + Add Calendar.
Select From URL.
Paste the Catermonkey calendar URL.
Click Add Calendar.
Your calendar will now appear in your list and automatically update when changes occur.
Troubleshooting: Calendar is not visible in the Android app
It is a known behavior of the Google Calendar app on Android phones that newly added calendars (via a URL) are hidden by default to save data. Because of this, the synchronization for that specific calendar is often turned off initially.
Here is how to enable synchronization manually:
Open the Google Calendar app on your phone.
Tap the menu in the top-left corner (the three horizontal lines).
Scroll all the way to the bottom and tap Settings.
Look for the Google account you also use on your PC. If you don't see the Catermonkey calendar right away, tap Show more under that account.
Tap on the Catermonkey calendar.
Switch the toggle at the very top next to Sync to the ON position.
Go back to your main calendar view, open the side menu again, and tap Refresh.
Extra Tip:
Use color coding in your calendar for better visibility:
🟢 Green for confirmed orders
🟠 Orange for quotes
Or create your own color system to match your workflow!
