Getting Started Guides

Practical walkthroughs for the most common Guildhall workflows: creating events, joining communities, managing stores, and getting timezone/calendar behavior right.

Personal Calendar Feed (My Events)

Personal Calendar Feed (My Events)

This guide explains the private calendar feed available from My Events and Profile.

This is different from store .ics import:

  • Personal feed: Guildhall -> your calendar app
  • Store .ics import: external calendar -> Guildhall store events

For store import, see Store .ICS Calendar Import (Store Calendar Sync).

What the personal calendar feed is

Your personal feed is a private iCalendar (.ics) URL tied to your account.

It is designed to keep your external calendar updated with:

  • events you host
  • events you join
  • scheduled instances within Guildhall's feed horizon

Where to find it

You have two easy access points:

  1. Open My Events and use the My Calendar Feed menu.
  2. Open Profile and copy the Calendar Subscription URL.

You can then paste that URL into Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, Outlook, or another app that supports subscribed calendars.

How updates work

There are two layers:

  • Guildhall updates the feed when your hosted or joined events change.
  • Your calendar provider refreshes that feed on its own schedule.

That means:

  • changes can appear in Guildhall before they appear in your external calendar
  • refresh timing varies by provider
  • manual refresh can help if your calendar app supports it

Good use cases

  • See Guildhall events beside work or personal calendars.
  • Let the calendar app convert times automatically to your local timezone.
  • Avoid manual re-entry of your upcoming events.

Security and privacy notes

  • Treat the feed URL like a secret.
  • Do not publish it on public pages.
  • If you think it has been shared too broadly, rotate it from account controls when that capability is available in your environment.

Troubleshooting

  • Feed shows no events: confirm you host or attend events in My Events.
  • Times look wrong: verify timezone settings.
  • External app shows stale data: wait for the provider refresh or force refresh if supported.
  • Duplicate entries: remove old subscriptions and keep a single active feed subscription.
