iCal subscription feeds
A one-way, per-shop calendar URL you can subscribe to from Apple Calendar, Outlook, or anything that takes a subscription link.
Last updated 1 October 2026
An iCal feed is a subscription URL that publishes your bookings to any calendar app. Like the Google Calendar integration it is one-way: changes you make in that calendar are not sent back.
Subscribe to your feed
- 1Open Integrations → Calendars and find Calendar subscription (iCal).
- 2Copy your shop's private feed URL.
- 3In your calendar app, add a calendar by subscription and paste the URL.
- 4Bookings appear within the refresh interval your calendar app uses (often every few hours).
- Google Calendar: Settings, Add calendar, From URL, paste. Google checks every 8 to 24 hours, so a new booking can take that long to show
- Apple Calendar (Mac or iPhone): File, New Calendar Subscription, paste, and set the refresh to every 15 minutes
- Outlook: Add calendar, Subscribe from web, paste
Velobook is not told when a calendar subscribes, so the card cannot show whether anyone is reading the feed. It only confirms the address is live.
Keep the URL private
Anyone with your feed URL can see your bookings. If it leaks, choose Replace URL in the same panel to invalidate the old one.
Community days are in there too
The feed carries your pop-up clinic sessions, at their published times with the spot's address as the location.
iCal or Google Calendar?
- iCal: a read-only view of bookings in Apple Calendar, Outlook or similar, with no Google sign-in.
- Google Calendar: Velobook manages a dedicated calendar in your Google account.
