**Calendar Subscription** gives you a personal iCal feed URL so your Fuxam appointments appear in Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, Outlook, or another calendar app that supports HTTPS or webcal feeds. Open it from the **Calendar** tab when your institution has calendar subscription enabled.

:::tip
On the Calendar tab, tap the **⋯** (more) button, then tap **Calendar Subscription**.

## Why it matters

Students and staff often plan around multiple calendars. Subscribing once keeps Fuxam appointments updating automatically in the calendar app you already use — without exporting files by hand.

## Before you start

| Requirement | Detail |
| --- | --- |
| Signed in | Complete [Sign in](/docs/fuxam-mobile/getting-started/sign-in) |
| Institution setting | **Calendar Subscription** appears only when your institution enables iCal subscription (`calendar_ical_enabled`) |
| Calendar app | Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, Outlook, or another app that can subscribe to an HTTPS or webcal URL |

## How to open Calendar Subscription

1. Open the **Calendar** tab.

2. Tap the **⋯** button in the calendar header (**More calendar actions**).

3. Tap **Calendar Subscription** in the **Calendar actions** sheet.

If you do not see **Calendar Subscription**, your institution has not enabled iCal subscription for mobile.

## How to subscribe

On the **Calendar Subscription** screen, the **Subscription URL** section shows your personal feed URL.

1. Open **Calendar Subscription** as above and wait for the URL to load.

2. Tap the actions control next to the URL, then choose one of:
    - **Open in Calendar App** — opens the webcal link in your device calendar app when the device can handle it
    - **Copy HTTPS URL** — copies the HTTPS feed for Google Calendar, Outlook, or other HTTPS subscribers
    - **Copy Webcal URL** — copies the webcal version of the same feed

3. In your external calendar app, paste the URL into the subscribe / add calendar by URL flow (wording varies by app). Your Fuxam events then update automatically.

:::info
A successful copy shows **URL copied to clipboard**. Keep the URL private — anyone with the feed URL can see your subscribed appointments.

## Common pitfalls

| Pitfall | What happens | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- |
| No Calendar Subscription in the ⋯ menu | Institution has not enabled iCal | Ask your administrator, or use the in-app [View your schedule](/docs/fuxam-mobile/calendar/view-your-schedule) |
| Feed fails to load | Error and **Retry** | Tap **Retry**; check your network connection |
| Open in Calendar App fails | Device cannot open webcal | Use **Copy HTTPS URL** or **Copy Webcal URL** and paste into your calendar app manually |
| Events look stale after a schedule change | External apps refresh on their own schedule | Wait for the next refresh, or remove and re-add the subscription |

## FAQ

**Does subscribing replace the Calendar tab?**

No. The in-app Calendar tab remains the place for check-in, attendance, and appointment actions — see [Appointment details](/docs/fuxam-mobile/calendar/appointment-details). Subscription only mirrors events into another calendar app.

**Is my subscription URL unique?**

Yes. It is tied to your account and institution context. Do not share it publicly.
