This guide explains how to import a calendar/schedule 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 events on both calendars 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 an existing calendar managed externally in Calendar. 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 schedule.
  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 relevant Google calendar.
  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.

However, you can force 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 the SYNC button to synchronize the imported content, then wait a few seconds:

 

Import events via .ics file

To access the Advanced actions that allow 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 service 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:

This guide explains how to import tasks in the dedicated section of the Infomaniak Web app Calendar (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/all/calendar/tasks).

 

Preamble

  • The .ics file is a standard container (RFC 5545) and inside this file, you will find “components”:
    • VEVENT (Event): this is what you see on the calendar grid, with a notion of occupied time (Start time DTSTART and End time DTEND or duration).
    • VTODO (Task): this is an action to be performed, often with a due date (DUE), but not necessarily a duration, and a binary status (done or not done).
  • Therefore, when importing a .ics file into the Infomaniak Calendar app, the system imports the data into the calendar and its “Tasks” section based on their type.

 

Import tasks

If you have a .ics file to import:

  1. Click here to access the Infomaniak Web app Calendar (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/calendar).
  2. Click on the chevron to expand the Advanced Actions section.
  3. Click on Import.
  4. Click the button to select an ICS file (max 20 Mo):
  5. Select the file containing the tasks (and/or events):
  6. Choose the calendar into which to import the data (or create a new calendar for the occasion).
  7. Click the button to start the import:
  8. If the .ics file contained tasks, you will find them in the Tasks section (and any events present in the file will be on the calendar):

This guide explains how to transfer an Infomaniak product from one Organization to another.

    • Regarding kDrive: users currently having access to kDrive will be integrated into the new Organization.
    • They will retain their access, their kDrive permissions, but any management rights they may have over the product itself will be lost.
    • Work teams are not moved either, the rights managed via teams are also lost.
  • If your user grants access to multiple Organizations it is even easier to send to one of them the product of your choice.

This guide explains how to synchronize Microsoft Outlook contacts & calendars (Windows only, Office 365 / 2019, 2016, 2013, 2010, 2007 versions) with contacts & calendriers hosted by Infomaniak, using an extension for Outlook available on caldavsynchronizer.org.

* The free versions of Outlook (New Outlook) and the macOS version are unable to install an extension; they are therefore unfortunately incompatible with Infomaniak data!

 

Preamble

  • The various services offered by Infomaniak are all compatible with the corresponding standard protocols (CalDAV/CardDAV for contacts & calendars, for example), therefore if you encounter a problem with third-party software, contact its publisher or a Partner and consult the support policy as well as article 11.9 of the Infomaniak Terms and Conditions.
  • There is a paid alternative for Windows, Evo Collaborator, which offers a preconfigured profile for Infomaniak.

 

Configure Outlook CalDav Synchronizer

Outlook CalDav Synchronizer allows you to synchronize contacts & calendars via CalDAV and CardDAV protocols, including multiple calendars (non-shared only):

  1. Download CalDav Synchronizer for Outlook.
  2. Close Outlook and launch the installation of the plugin downloaded above:
  3. Once the plugin is installed, open Outlook and click on the new tab CalDav Synchronizer.
  4. Click on Synchronization Profiles.
  5. Click on the icon to create a first profile (for the calendar or contacts - you will need to create a second profile later to synchronize both).
  6. Choose a generic profile type (first radio button):
  7. Enter a profile name (name of the Infomaniak calendar or address book you want to synchronize, for example).
  8. Check the synchronization box.
  9. Click on the [ ▪ ▪ ▪ ] button.
  10. Click on the New… button:
  11. Enter a new folder name.
  12. Choose the type of items the folder will contain (Calendar or Contacts).
  13. Click on the parent folder “Outlook” to create the folder in its hierarchy.
  14. Confirm with the OK button:
  15. Confirm with OK:
  16. Open the assistant https://config.infomaniak.com/ to obtain the information regarding synchronization with Outlook.
  17. Click the button to generate an application password (allows you to bypass the 2FA of your user account for synchronization only):
  18. Copy the information (password, URL, and username) obtained on config.infomaniak.com.
  19. Enter the email address, that of your user account.
  20. Click the button to Test the settings:
  21. Choose in the window that opens the Infomaniak calendar to synchronize.
  22. Click the OK button:
  23. Additional information may then automatically appear in certain fields.
  24. Save a second profile if necessary (start again at point 4 in this case).
  25. Finish with OK at the bottom right.
  26. A restart of Outlook may be required to update the added information.

 

Resolve event duplicates

If you notice duplicated events in your Outlook calendar without them being duplicated on ksuite.infomaniak.com/calendar, apply these settings:

  1. Click to Show Advanced Settings.
  2. Click on Event Mapping Configuration.
  3. Check the box Use GlobalAppointmentID for UID attribute.
  4. Check the box Cleanup duplicate events.
  5. Save the changes by clicking on the OK button:

The deletion of duplicate events, and therefore potentially duplicate invitations, may result in a notification of event refusal to the organizer. However, this has no impact on the participant's initial choice.

 

For advanced macOS users

There is an alternative for Outlook / Exchange on macOS, via the ews-caldav-sync python script:

  • Unlike an ICS file import provided by Outlook Web, which only includes the last few weeks of events, the script will import all calendar events, including event series, but not tasks.
  • Synchronization via this script is one-way, from Microsoft Exchange to the CalDAV server. It is recommended to run it at regular intervals.

This guide details the specifics and limitations of synchronizing contacts & calendars with Infomaniak using native Apple applications (macOS and iOS), particularly for managing shared data.

 

Preamble

  • Contacts & calendars hosted by Infomaniak can be synchronized with native Apple applications:

 

Contacts: Synchronizing address books

The CardDAV protocol does not allow individual elements to be selected for synchronization; all account data is retrieved by default.

  1. Before adding a synchronization:
    1. All existing contacts on the macOS device
    2. Existing contacts in the Infomaniak user Anna Alpha's Organization (named AAlpha SA here), including the Organization directory, which contains a group called North here (in this case, it is a group automatically formed after setting up a work team).
    3. The user's address book is named Lunchy here.
  2. After adding a macOS profile synchronization:
    1. All existing contacts on the macOS device (they display the contacts that were already present, as well as new contacts from the synchronization).
    2. Contacts from the synchronization (see point 2.d below).
      • A downloaded profile contains the Infomaniak account username; this name will be given to the synchronized address book that appears on the Apple side.
      • Example below, the username is Anna Alpha and the address book name is Lunchy; it is the username that will appear to describe the contacts on the Apple side.
      • You can modify the synchronization name in the Account Information:
    3. Existing contacts on the macOS device (those from point 1.a above — they remain local on macOS and are not synchronized — they need to be moved if necessary).
      • You can modify the default address book used for future contacts created on your device:
    4. The user's address book is named Lunchy here — equivalent to point 2.b above).

On iOS

New contacts created on iPhone are often saved locally (On my iPhone"):

  • It is necessary to modify the default address book in the device settings so that they are synchronized on the Infomaniak server.

 

Groups and lists

Grouping contacts into folders or lists does not synchronize bidirectionally. The list system does not use real folders but category tags, making it impossible to retrieve contact groups.

  1. Lists created on Apple do not appear on the Infomaniak server (but the contacts contained within them do):
  2. Groups configured on the web interface do not appear in the Apple Contacts application (but the contacts contained within them do):
    • Tip: to delete a list created on the Apple side, select it and press the DEL./SUPPR. key on your keyboard.

 

Additional address books

The Contacts application does not support multi-address books for the same account:

  • Only the default address book is synchronized.
  • To access all your address books, a third-party software (type Thunderbird) is required.

Example of a new address book on the Infomaniak side:

  1. The content of this second address book is not synchronized:
  2. A solution to organize yourself similarly could be to create a group under Lunchy and add the 5 contacts there:

 

Shared address books

An address book shared with another Infomaniak user will continue to be synchronized, including if contacts are added/edited via sharing, as in this example of sharing with maximum permissions:

The reverse (receiving contact sharing from another Infomaniak user) adds an additional address book. Synchronization of these additional contacts is therefore not possible (same rule as the one presented in the chapter “Additional address books” above).

 

Calendar: Displaying shared calendars

The CalDAV protocol does not allow you to choose which items to synchronize; all account data is retrieved, including the calendars you share and those for which you have been granted access/modification rights:

If only your personal calendar is displayed, then try this manipulation to activate additional calendars:

On macOS

  1. Open iCal / Calendar.
  2. Go to the Calendar > Settings (or Preferences).
  3. Go to the Accounts tab.
  4. Select the Infomaniak account and click on the Delegation tab.
  5. Check the shared calendars to display.

On iOS

  1. Open iCal / Calendar.
  2. Tap the Calendars button at the bottom of the screen.
  3. Check the shared calendars in the list.

 

Notifications (iOS)

You can enable or disable alerts for each specific calendar by tapping the icon located to the right of its name:
