See Your Trips in Your Calendar App

Want to see all of your upcoming trips and activities in your favorite calendar app or service (Apple Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, Fastmail, Google Calendar, etc) without the pain of having to connect your different calendar accounts to Tripsy. We've got you covered, and best of all we don't have any access to the rest of your calendars, which is great for your privacy.

Because we're not connecting directly to your calendar, you can also share your calendar feed with anyone (of course, we'd recommend this be someone you trust!) and add it to any calendar app that supports the ICS standard.

As this is a calendar subscription, the information in the calendar will be read-only; it's not possible to make changes in your calendar app, that's always done within Tripsy.

You can also control what's shown on your calendar feed to give you a more personalized experience.

Setup Your Calendar Feed

Adding your Tripsy calendar feed to your favorite calendar app is easy, we've included steps for both Apple Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, Fastmail, and Google Calendar (web) below. For other calendar apps or services, please check the documentation for your app or service of choice.

Troubleshooting Your Calendar

• For activities to show up in your Tripsy calendar, they must have dates and times associated with them. If you just add a date to an activity, with no times, the activity will be added as an all-day event on your calendar feed.
• You won't see any activities that have been assigned to other guests in a trip, only activities not assigned or where you are one of the people assigned will show in the calendar feed.
• You won't see trips where you're marked as not travelling (e.g. a shared trip from a friend or family member where you aren't travelling).
• If your Tripsy calendar isn't updating, you may need to refresh the calendar feed within your calendar app. Some calendar services taken longer than others to refresh a subscribed calendar.
