Enable iCalendar Feeds

How do I enable iCalendar feeds?

Purpose: To show you how to enable iCalendar feeds for your employees to have the ability to add a calendar feed to an outside calendar program.


Settings

Navigate

iCalendar feeds allow employees to pull calendar details from BambooHR to an outside calendar program. (i.e., Who's Out, birthdays, etc.) You will need to enable this feature to allow your employees to do this. Therefore, go to Account in Settings and select iCalendar Feeds. Click On, and then Save Changes.

Where can my employees access the iCal feature?

Celebrations/Who's Out Widgets

Once you have enabled the feature, an option to add the iCal feed will appear in the Who's Out and Celebrations widgets once they are expanded (by clicking the double arrows in the upper right corner). Depending on the time off categories included in an employee’s access level settings, they can see what type of time off another employee has requested and the number of hours, making it easier to know if that employee will be out for the entire day or just part of the day.

Calendar

In this example, the manager has access to see the details of Ashley's Vacation request. However, a co-worker without access to the time off category (Vacation) will only see that Ashley will be out of the office (see below).
