Never miss a rehearsal or accidentally make plans on a performance night by importing your Choir Genius events into your personal calendar program.

Find your iCal URL

Calendar programs use event data in a special format called "iCal" in order to copy events from one program to another. Choir Genius makes this data available to you in URL format so you can easily import your events from CG to your personal calendar program - such as google calendar or apple calendar.

You can find your specific iCal url link by going to Events > My Attendance, and the clicking the "Subscribe" button on the top right.

Use your iCal URL

A dialogue box will pop up  with a button to subscribe with google. You can do this if you are currently logged into a browser session with your google account. It will then import your calendar of events to your google calendar.

Or you, highlight the text, and copy it to your clipboard, and then follow the instructions below to import it manually to google or another calendar service.

Paste the iCal URL into your personal calendar program
