To subscribe to your Táve calendar feeds on your Android phone or tablet, you’ll be required to subscribe within your Google account using the instructions below.

After following the step-by-step guide below, you will need to refer to the calendar app you use on your Android device to tell it to show that new calendar feed on your device calendar. Each Android device varies, so refer to your phone’s manual if you get stumped.

Creating Your Calendar Feeds in Táve

The first step is creating the Táve calendar feeds you’d like to use. You can create a number of different feeds based on your needs. For example, if you have multiple employees in your studio you can create a feed that will show only events that the individual employee is an attendee on. If you’d like to give someone a more private feed of just your availability shown as simply “busy” or “free”, you can do that too. You can create these feeds in Settings › Calendar Settings by clicking on the New Calendar Feed button as shown below.

You can now customize the following in each Táve calendar feed you create:

Kind of Event: Confirmed, Tentative, All Events, Availability Busy/Free Only
Event Type: Restrict the feed to only include specific account Event Types
Job Type: Restrict the feed to only include specific account Job Types
Brand: Restrict the feed to only include specific account Brands
Attendee: Choose from any existing contact in your Address Book or create a new one on the fly (see more on creating calendar feeds for event attendees)

The last option is to restrict the feed to show only the past 3 months of history, as opposed to the default showing the entire history of events, if you prefer this option.

Once you’ve saved the new calendar feed, you’ll see a URL created (as seen in the top screenshot above). These URLs are what we will need later to setup the feed subscription in Google Calendar.

Adding Your Calendar Subscription in Google Calendar

NOTE: You can only subscribe to a calendar from https://calendar.google.com

In Google Calendar use the + icon next to Other Calendars and choose From URL:

Now, head over to your Táve calendar feed settings and copy the URL of the feed you’d like to subscribe to. You’re going to paste it into the window that pops up in Google Calendar and Add Calendar. You’ll see the new calendar appear in the list of Other Calendars on the left.

Customizing Your Calendar Subscription

If you select the menu to the right of your new calendar feed, you’ll see some customization options.

For example, you can choose the custom color for this calendar right here in this menu. You can edit the name of the calendar or add some default notifications by selecting Settings.

NOTE: The first time you subscribe to a Táve calendar feed on Google Calendar, it may be a little delayed in pulling in all of your event data. Subscribed calendars sync in Google Calendar based on Google’s sync schedule, not Táve’s. As you continue to populate your Táve calendar with your upcoming events, Google will recognize it more easily, speeding up the sync process going forward.

Adding Your Calendar Subscription to Your Android Device Calendar App

If you're using a calendar app, other than Google Calendar, on your Android device, please refer to that calendar app's guide on how to add a new calendar subscription from a calendar feed URL.
