The Sites+ Events feature includes an optional iCalendar feed. iCalendar (.ics) is a standardized format for sharing events to third-party websites and popular calendar apps.
How it works
Each event has a checkbox to include the event in the website's iCalendar feed. Upcoming events with this box checked will be included in an .ics file, which is available at a unique URL. Third parties can then subscribe to that URL to have the selected events automatically added to their calendar.
- Events are not included by default. You will choose which events are distributed.
- Your iCalendar feed is not shared by default
To start using this feed, contact the CALS/LAS Web Team. We'll work with you to ensure the feed is properly configured for your intended destination. Depending on your intended audience, we can provide insight to your content editors on determining which events should be included.
ISU Public Events Calendar
The iCalendar feed is optimized to work with the ISU Public Events Calendar. If your unit hosts events that are of interest to the general public, we can arrange for your selected events to be included on the ISU calendar.
