iCal Feeds
Publish a calendar feed from any table that has a date field. Anyone with the link can subscribe in Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook and see your records as calendar events. The feed is read-only and refreshes automatically.
Activate a feed
Open a table, choose Configure from the table menu, switch to the Public tab, then find the iCal Feed section. (If the table has no date field, you'll be prompted to add one first.)
Tick Enable iCal feed, choose your settings, and click Save. InfoLobby then shows the Subscribe URL to share.
Settings
| Setting | Purpose |
|---|---|
| View | Which saved view to publish. The view's filters and sort decide which records become events. |
| Start date field | Required. The event's start. A plain date field makes all-day events; a date & time field makes timed events. |
| End date field | Optional. The event's end. |
| Title field | Optional. Used as each event's title. Leave blank to use the record's title. |
| Description field | Optional. Shown in the event's description. |
Subscribing
Copy the Subscribe URL and add it in your calendar app:
- Google Calendar — Other calendars → From URL → paste the link.
- Apple Calendar — File → New Calendar Subscription → paste the link.
- Outlook — Add calendar → Subscribe from web → paste the link.
Calendar apps decide how often to refresh a subscribed feed — often every few hours, and you can't control it. Changes you make show up the next time the subscriber's app checks in.
Good to know
- The feed includes upcoming events plus the recent past (about the last 90 days), up to 1,000 events, ordered by start date.
- Records with no start date are skipped.
- Anyone with the link can read the events that pass the view's filters — treat the URL like a password and only share it with people who should see the calendar.
- The link is stable: changing the fields or view keeps the same URL, so subscribers don't need to re-add it.
