How do I sync the MFML Calendar with my calendar?

If you use a third-party calendar such as Google Calendar or Microsoft Outlook, you can subscribe to your MFML calendar events using a special "feed" URL.

This URL is displayed underneath the calendar on your Class tracker. Right-click the link to copy the address.

Note that different browsers display different commands for copying URLS.

  • Safari: Copy Link
  • Firefox: Copy Link Location
  • IE: Copy Shortcut
  • Chrome: Copy Link Address

Once you have copied the link, refer to instructions for subscribing to (or importing) calendars in your calendar application. Generally, this involves finding the "Subscribe" command and pasting the URL in the following screen.

IMPORTANT: MFML's calendar feed is "read-only". Your edits in your own calendar will changes won’t be saved in your MFML. If you edit a calendar date in MFML, your own calendar will be updated but the frequency of updates depends upon your own calendar.

The following calendars are supported, and any other calendars that support iCalendar feeds (or .ics file imports) should also be able to Sync with the MFML calendar.

  • Google Calendar
  • iPhone / iPad Calendar
  • Apple OSX Calendar/iCal
  • Microsoft Outlook (recent versions)

Sorry, we don’t automatically sync to your desk diary, your pocket diary or the blackboard in the kitchen. Darn! You’ll just have to take a note.
