This article explains how to sync your Clipboard Schedule to your personal calendar using two approaches.

There are two ways to sync your Clipboard Schedule to your personal calendar. For all users, the Sessions/Fixtures synced to your calendar will be those you are assigned to in Clipboard.

  2. Click More (top right)

  3. Right-click on Sync with Calendar App from the dropdown menu, and then click Copy Link Address. This will copy the webcal URL.

Then for Outlook:

  1. Sign in to Outlook.com

  2. Go to the bottom of the page and click on the calendar icon

  3. In the navigation panel, select Add calendar. Then choose Subscribe from web and enter the webcal URL.

  4. When you paste the link to subscribe, you will see the URL starting with webcal://. You change the protocol from webcal:// to https://
