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.

Step 2: Paste instructions with the URL onto a Composer page

• Go to the Composer page where you have connected the calendar(s) you'd like your community to be able to subscribe to.
• 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.

Text to copy and paste onto your page

Here is some text to be easily copied and customized on your site: 

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.
