Syncing with External Calendars

Updated yesterday · 1 min read · pro

Nova can export your teaching schedule as an iCal feed, which you can subscribe to from Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook, or any calendar app that supports iCal URLs.

Getting your calendar feed URL

  1. Go to Settings
  2. Find Calendar Sync
  3. Click Generate Calendar URL
  4. Copy the URL that appears

This is a Pro plan feature. The calendar feed is read-only — changes made in your external calendar won’t sync back to Nova.

Adding to Google Calendar

  1. Open Google Calendar
  2. Click the + next to “Other calendars” in the left sidebar
  3. Select From URL
  4. Paste your Nova calendar feed URL
  5. Click Add calendar

Your Nova lessons will appear alongside your other calendars. Google Calendar refreshes the feed periodically (usually every few hours).

Adding to Apple Calendar

  1. Open the Calendar app on your Mac
  2. Go to File > New Calendar Subscription
  3. Paste your Nova calendar feed URL
  4. Click Subscribe
  5. Choose how often to refresh (every hour is recommended)

On iPhone/iPad, go to Settings > Calendar > Accounts > Add Account > Other > Add Subscribed Calendar and paste the URL.

Adding to Outlook

  1. Open Outlook and go to the Calendar
  2. Right-click Other calendars and select Add calendar from internet
  3. Paste the URL and click OK

Security

Your calendar feed URL contains a personal token that’s unique to your account. Don’t share it publicly. If you need to revoke access, you can generate a new URL in Settings, which invalidates the old one.
