Instructions for adding a planitpurple ical feed to your calendar. Please note that the applications change the settings and features of adding a subscription calendar often, if the instructions below are faulty please reach out.

 

Apple Calendar:

  • In the Apple Calendar program, select menu item: File/New Calendar Subscription. 

  • Enter the URL above and click the “subscribe” button. 

  • In the dialog box that pops up, give the calendar a name such as “NITMB Events”. 

  • It's a good idea to change the auto-refresh from the default “every week” to “every 15 minutes” and click OK.  The more frequent refresh could be important if the time, location, or happening of NITMB Events changes the day of the meeting.

Outlook for Mac & Windows:

  • Log into webmail (you can’t add a web calendar from the Mac Outlook App) and go to the calendar tab.
