Spaces calendar

You can subscribe to a calendar containing all bookings made for a site, zone, space or for a repeat visitor, allowing you to see all of your bookings in your favourite calendar application.

Find your calendar URL

Depending on if you're subscribing to the bookings for a site, zone, space or for a repeat visitor, the location of the URL varies. See below for how to find the relevant URL. If you've already got your URL, skip to the section on subscribing to the URL in either Google or Outlook calendar by clicking here.

Site URL

The site calendar will show all bookings made at a particular site. To find the site calendar URL, go to Spaces in the top menu of the online portal. Under the name of your site you should see the option to + Subscribe to calendar. Clicking that will pop-up a window displaying the calendar URL for your site.

Space and zone URL

Getting the calendar URL for spaces and zones is very similar to a site. First, go to Spaces in the top menu of the online portal. You can use the list view on the left side of the page to select the zone or space and then click the + Subscribe to calendar button below the name of the space or zone.

Repeat visitor (i.e. staff group member) calendar URL

The process for adding a calendar URL for a repeat visitor is slightly different. Most repeat visitors will not have access to the online management portal so their calendar URL is included in the welcome email sent directly to them. To send a welcome email go to Manage > Groups > Select group > Members and search for the member, click Edit and then under Details scroll down and tick Send welcome email and then click Save and send. That member will receive your group onboarding email with a calendar URL for their own spaces bookings.

Tip

We can send a bulk welcome email to all members of a repeat visitor group if this helps. Just contact the team at support@signinapp.com.

Subscribing to the URL

Now you've got the URL for the site, zone, space or for a repeat visitor that you'd like to subscribe to, you need to add this to your calendar application. Most calendars should allow you to subscribe to a calendar using a URL. The process does vary slightly depending on which application you use, but you can read about how to do this for Outlook and Google below.

Important

The spaces calendar is configured to update every 15 minutes, however please be aware some calendar services and applications may take longer to show changes and new bookings (up to 24 hours). In some cases the frequency it refreshes can be managed within the calendar application itself, so please check with your calendar provider to see if this is a customisable option.
