What is the calendar feed?
Your calendar feed is a personal URL that your calendar app checks automatically for updates. Once you subscribe, your lessons appear in your calendar alongside your other events — no manual entry needed.
This works for both instructors and students. You'll see all your upcoming and recent lessons.
How to subscribe
Go to Account from the main menu.
On the General tab, scroll down to the Calendar Feed card.
Choose your calendar app by tapping one of the tabs: Apple, Google, Outlook, or Other.
Tap Subscribe to Lessons.
Your calendar app will open and ask you to confirm the subscription. Accept it.
That's it. Your lessons will start appearing in your calendar.
App-specific notes
Apple Calendar
Updates every few minutes. You can adjust the refresh frequency in your calendar app settings.
Works on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
Google Calendar
Updates every 12-24 hours. Google controls the refresh timing — there's no way to speed it up.
Important: The Google Calendar mobile app on Android doesn't support adding URL subscriptions. You need to add this from a desktop browser, and it will then sync to your phone.
Outlook
Updates every 12-24 hours. Outlook controls the refresh timing.
Works with Outlook.com, Outlook desktop app, and the Outlook mobile app.
Other
If you use a different calendar app, tap the Other tab to see your personal iCal URL.
Tap the URL to select it, then copy and paste it into your calendar app's "subscribe by URL" option.

Good to know
Your calendar feed URL is unique and private. Do not share it with anyone — it gives access to your full lesson schedule.
The feed includes lessons from the past 12 months and all future lessons.
Each event includes a 1-hour reminder alarm.
Cancelled lessons still appear in your calendar but are marked as "free" time so they don't block your schedule.
This is a read-only feed. Changes you make in your calendar app (like deleting or editing an event) won't affect SwingMatch.
If you also use Google Calendar sync, the calendar feed works independently. Google Calendar sync will eventually be two-way and instructor-only; the calendar feed is read-only and works for everyone.
