  Ready to get started with New Calendars? 

We're excited to share our updated plan and timeline for transitioning to the New Calendars module. Thank you for your patience and support as we work to make this migration smooth. Although our original timeline has shifted, we're confident this revised plan will ensure a successful rollout.

  • Now – June 2025: Seeking 100 clients for early migration. Due to the large volume of requests received, the form has been disabled. If you are selected, expect us to reach out before the end of June with next steps.
  • July 2025 - December 2025: Clients not selected for early migration can initiate their own fully automated migration. We'll reach out with more details.
  • January 2026: All clients can initiate their automated migration.
  • August 31, 2026: End of Life for Calendar Manager. Remaining clients will be migrated.

This article helps site admins with help for their community to subscribe to their calendar feed so that events can show up on their personal device dynamically, anytime new events are made. This includes copying the original calendar URL and making it available to your community on a Composer page. 

Step 1: Copy the URL from Calendar settings

Go to the original source of your calendar that is feeding onto the Calendar element displaying the calendar you'd like your community to be able to subscribe to.

  • Open the New Calendars module, hover on the calendar you would like to share, and click on the 3-dot More menu.
  • Click to open Settings. Locate the Integrate Calendar field and copy the link displaying there.

  • Open a Content Element or use the Footer Content in the +Design settings area.
  • Copy the instructions (Text to copy and paste onto your page), being sure to paste your Calendar URL into the instructions.

Step 3 (Optional): Disable alert icons in your Calendar element

Now that you are providing the link for your community, it's possible to make it less tempting for your visitors to try to subscribe to your calendars the way they may have done in the past. You can do this by disabling these alert icons.

Important Note

When you disable your alert icons, you will disable both the Feeds icon and the orange bell subscription icon at the same time. Selecting to disable the alert icons will remove both of them from that specific Calendar element.

Here's how to disable the alert icons in a Calendar element
