Introduction
Would you like to see your scheduled CrewPlanner shifts on the agenda of your device? Then follow the steps in this article to link your CrewPlanner calendar to your external calendar.
Where to find the link in CrewPlanner
To be able to link your calendar you need a URL link. You can obtain this from the AGENDA page in the app. Once you are on this page you will see a calendar icon at the top right.
After selecting this icon, you will be taken to the page where you can download the URL link for your external calendar. In the middle of this page you will find a button with which you can copy the URL link to link your external calendar.
When you see a green message appear at the top of the page, you have copied the URL link correctly. You then only have to perform the steps necessary to link your external calendar.
