Import a calendar on the Web app Calendar Infomaniak

This guide explains how to import a calendar / agenda on the Infomaniak Web app Calendar (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/calendar).

 

Preamble

  • Refer to this other guide if you only want to display a read-only Infomaniak calendar on Google Calendar (Web & mobile app).
  • Refer to this other guide if you want to edit the events of the calendar on both sides but only on the mobile version of the Google Calendar app.
  • It is also possible to import tasks in the dedicated section of the calendar.

 

Import a calendar via a URL

It is possible to display in Calendar an existing calendar managed externally. It will be automatically updated every hour via the URL you specify.

Note that this is not a calendar synchronization but a read-only, one-way display.

To do this:

  1. Click here to access the Infomaniak Web app Calendar (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/calendar).
  2. Click on in the left sidebar menu.
  3. Click on "From a URL":
  4. Enter the URL of the calendar to import.
  5. Check the box I want to subscribe to this agenda.
  6. If necessary, choose the Organization in which the calendar will be imported.
  7. Click on Import the calendar:

You can also go directly through one of the Organizations you are part of:

  1. Click here to access the Infomaniak Web app Calendar (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/calendar).
  2. Click on the action menu to the right of the Organization in the displayed table.
  3. Click on "From a URL":

 

Link a Google calendar by its “secret” URL

The "secret" URL of a Google calendar, which you will be able to paste in step 3 above, is found in the Google calendar settings:

  1. Click on the action menu to the right of the Google calendar concerned.
  2. Click on Settings and sharing:
  3. Scroll down the page to obtain the secret iCal URL and click on the icons to view the URL and/or copy it:
  4. Paste the URL according to the procedure in step 3 of the previous chapter above.

Note that this is not a calendar synchronization but a read-only, one-way display.

The calendar will be visible and will regularly display any updates made, but it will not be possible to edit it directly from the Infomaniak interface; this is a "one-way synchronization" with Google.

You can, however, force the synchronization to directly display any new events or modifications:

  1. Click on the action menu to the right of the calendar imported on Infomaniak.
  2. Click on Display information:
  3. Click on the SYNC button to synchronize the imported content, then wait a few seconds:

 

Import events via .ics file

To access the Advanced actions allowing the import, export, and restoration of the calendar:

  1. Click here to access the Infomaniak Web app Calendar (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/calendar).
  2. Click on Advanced actions in the left sidebar menu.
  3. Click on Import.
  4. Upload the .ics file corresponding to the export performed from your previous provider:

You will be able to choose which existing calendar to import the events into or create a new agenda (tasks are also imported if the .ics file contains them).

Note that this is not a calendar synchronization but a one-time, one-way import.

 

Export data from the previous provider

Here are some guides provided for reference to export the calendar from a third-party provider, which will allow you to re-import this data with Infomaniak:
