Sync an 'Other' Type of Calendar With vcita
vcita supports direct sync with Google, Outlook, iCloud and Yahoo calendars. If you are using a calendar that is not on the list, you may still be able to sync your calendar with vcita.
Generate Your ICS Link
You will need an ICS link to synchronize your calendar with vcita. Get in touch with the support team for your calendar service to find out how to generate this link, as it will vary between platforms.
Sync to vcita
