Calendar Feed

Once your schedules and associated shifts are configured, you may want to view your on-call or on-duty coverage periods in the calendar application you already use, such as Google or Apple Calendar, or one of many others.

These and most other calendar applications support calendar subscriptions, which automatically keep the subscribed calendar up-to-date in your calendar application as changes are made by pulling periodic updates from a URL.

If you need help getting a particular calendar application subscribed to your feed that is not detailed on this page, don't hesitate to contact us.

Obtain your calendar feed URLs​

Open your Ready Five profile screen. You'll see your current and upcoming coverage there, along with a "Subscribe to calendar" dropdown. From this dropdown you can choose to subscribe to either your "On Call" or "On Duty" coverage. If you want both, you'll need to configure separate subscriptions in your calendar application for each.
