To setup syncing you will have to connect at least one Google, Microsoft, or iCloud account to be used as the destination calendar.

If the source calendar is an ICS URL an account does not need to be added for the ICS URL — you will enter the ICS URL during the sync create process.

Connecting a Google Account

Follow this section to connect a personal Gmail or paid GSuite account.

Go to your Accounts page.

Click the “Accounts” link in the left navigation bar, or enter https://calendarbridge.com/dashboard/accounts into your browser. The accounts page will look like this:
Click the “ADD ACCOUNT +” button.

This will bring up the account type selection page:
Click the “Google” button.

This will redirect you to Google’s website where you can sign in to your Google account credentials and authorize CalendarBridge to access your Google calendar.
Enter the email address associated with the calendar you want to connect.
Enter the password for the calendar you want to connect.

Upon successful login, this will take you to the permissions grant screen.
Approve CalendarBridge’s access to your basic Google account information.
Check the two boxes and then click ‘Continue’ to enable CalendarBridge to connect to your calendar.

Failure to accept the permissions will prevent CalendarBridge from being able to provide any services to you. If you have concerns about these permissions, please check out our terms of service (in short we only use these permissions to carry out the syncs and scheduling links that you configure.)

After accepting the permissions, Google will redirect you back to the CalendarBridge website and you should see this screen:

Connecting an iCloud Account

This section will walk you through connecting an Apple iCloud account to CalendarBridge. The iCloud setup is different than Microsoft and Google as it uses an app password, rather than oAuth (“Login with Apple”).

Please note that iCloud does not support real-time syncing, so sync connections with an iCloud source calendar will sync every 5 to 10 minutes.

Prerequisite: Generate an application specific password from your iCloud account

To connect your iCloud account to CalendarBridge you do not use your normal iCloud password. Instead, you must login to iCloud and create an application specific password. Here is how to do that:

Sign into https://appleid.apple.com.
In the Sign-In and Security section, select App-Specific Passwords.
Select “Generate an app-specific password.”
Type in a name for the password (e.g., “CalendarBridge”) and click “Create.”
Your application specific password is now shown.

If you close the window, you cannot see it again. Either leave the window open or copy it and paste it somewhere safe, such as a password manager.

Connect your iCloud account to CalendarBridge using an app-specific password

Go to your CalendarBridge Accounts page.

Click the “Accounts” link in the left navigation bar, or enter https://calendarbridge.com/dashboard/accounts into your browser (if you haven’t saved your app-specific password, use a different browser tab than the one that your app-specific password is displayed in):
Click the “ADD ACCOUNT +” button.

This will bring up the account type selection page:
Click the “Apple iCloud” button.

This will bring up the following dialog box. Enter your iCloud email address and the app-specific password generated in the steps above. Then click “Add iCloud Account.”
