Administrator Activity Calendar Subscriptions
Updated this week

About this feature: Calendar subscriptions allow you to connect your activity schedules to an external calendar application such as Gmail, Outlook, etc. The following information is transferred

  • Activity Category

  • Activity Name

  • Date and Time

Note that volunteer assignments are not available through this feature.

Calendar Subscriptions can be created for:

  • All Activities

  • Single Activity Category

  • Single Activity

Subscriptions are NOT specific to the administrator so any administrator with access to Calendar Subscriptions will be able to use one that was previously created by someone else. Calendar subscriptions are also public, so anyone with the link, regardless of their administrative access can use it. To revoke access, you will want to delete the subscription.

Only active activities are included in this subscription, and it will show the shifts up to 7 days in the past, and 120 days into the future.

Calendar subscriptions are dynamic and will adjust to reflect the schedule that is created within Better Impact. This is a calendar subscription meaning the activities are not added as events to your personal calendar. Calendar subscriptions allow you to view a separate calendar from whichever calendar application you use. For more details see:
