How to Connect Your iCloud Calendar with FG Funnels

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 FG Funnels can sync to iCloud, and events created in iCloud can sync to FG Funnels.

iCloud Integration is not supported for Simple or Event Calendars.

Data Flow: FG Funnels to iCloud


When events are created in FG Funnels and synced to iCloud:

  • Any changes made in FG Funnels will be reflected in the connected iCloud calendar for the user.
  • Any changes made in iCloud calendar will be reflected in the FG Funnels calendar (excluding event deletions).

This ensures that events created or modified in the FGF 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 FG Funnels Calendar. This is a limitation with the iCloud Integration.


Additionally, blocked off slots created in the FG Funnels calendar will not sync to iCloud.

Data Flow: iCloud to FG Funnels


When events are created in iCloud and pushed to FG Funnels:

  • Any changes made in iCloud calendar will be reflected in the FGF calendar 
  • Any changes made in FGF 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 FGF calendar, and any subsequent changes made in iCloud will be mirrored in the FGF Calendar application.


Important Information Specifically for the iCloud Integration

Contact creation from iCloud events to FGF 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 FGF calendar for a user, this will not sync to the iCloud calendar.


Integration with a subscription calendar is not possible. This means that FG Funnels cannot connect to iCloud calendars that you have subscribed to via URL (usually public calendars).
