ICS Feed

If another system gives you a subscribe link to a calendar (often ending in .ics or shared as a stable URL), Timelish can read it and treat those events as busy time. This helps online booking avoid clashes without a full two-way Google or Outlook connection.

Adding the App​

  1. Copy the full ICS link from the other calendar or product. It should start with https://.
  2. Open Apps, then Store, and install ICS Feed.
  3. Paste the link where the form asks for the ICS URL.
  4. Save and wait for a success message. Open Installed apps if you need to edit the link later.

If the calendar never loads, see Apps troubleshooting. Common issues are a wrong URL, a private link Timelish cannot reach, or the host blocking frequent checks.

Good to know​

Some hosts limit how often a link can be refreshed. Very old data in Timelish usually means the feed is slow or blocked.

Usage​

Show school, side-job, or partner calendars as busy​

Use this when: You keep another calendar elsewhere but still want Timelish to block those hours.

You need: A working ICS URL that stays online and allows Timelish’s servers to fetch it.

Combine more than one busy source​

Use this when: Busy time should include several feeds.

You need: Either multiple setups if your workspace allows, or one combined feed from the other product.

Removing the App​

  1. Open Apps, then Installed apps.
  2. Open ICS Feed and remove or disconnect that calendar link.

What changes afterward​

Timelish stops using that feed for busy time. It does not delete anything on the calendar that hosts the link.

Outside Timelish​

Turn off sharing at the original calendar if you want the link to die everywhere. Timelish never wrote back to that calendar through this App.
