Configuring Daysi & Google Calendar

It is possible to import all appointments from a Google Calendar to Daysi, so that all appointments can be collected in Daysi. 

It is a standard function in Google Calendar that is used to get a LINK/URL to the calendar.  

Below is a brief description of how to import appointments from Google Calendar.

Setting up Google Calendar

Step 1: Log in to Google Calendar

1. Click the Gear/Settings icon at the top right of the window.

2. Select the Settings menu item

3. A new Menu will appear on the screen:

4 : Select the Calendars that you want to get the URL/Link to. 

5.  A new windows will appear

6. Select the Integrate Calendar menu punkt to the left in the window.

7. The windows-section to the right will scroll down  to the area where calendar-URL’s are displayed.

8. Find the field Secret address in iCal-format

9. Click on the eye-icon to get the URL for your calendar.

A Warning message will be displayed which emphasize that you need to get the URL that you should not distribute this URL to other people.

10. A URL will now be displayed in the Secret address in iCal-format field

11. Click on the copy-icon to copy the URL/Link to the computer memory.

This URL/Link should be sent to the phone where you have the Daysi App so you can finish the configuration – see below, and get the appointments from your Google Calendar into Daysi.

Creating Links in the Daysi App

Step 1: Open Family Member Setup

The Link you downloaded from Google Calendar must be created in Daysi so that all appointments from your Google Calendar are imported into Daysi. 

a. Open the Menu and click on your Picture/Name at the top to open My Profile,  where you configure your calendar.

b. Scroll down to the Calendar Settings section and click the arrow in the Import Appointments section .

Step 2: Create Link to Google Calendar

Once you have selected the Import appointments function , a new window will open where you can create the link to the Google Calendar. 

This is done in the following way.

a. In the first field, you must  enter a name for the calendar that is being imported – this is the name that will be displayed on the appointment in Daysi so that you can see which external calendar the appointment was created from.

b. In the second field, insert the link that you have downloaded from the Google Calendar (you can optionally send the link to yourself in an email so that you can open it via your phone)

c. Then click the SAVE button.

The appointments will then be synchronized from the external calendar and entered into Daysi. The appointments will be created on the Family member to whom the calendar is associated.

Appointments from the Google Calendar are imported immediately.

NOTE: Import of new appointments and update of existing appointments are done every night at 3:00 pm.

Step 3: Finish configuration

When you have finished creating the various links to the external calendars, click SAVE and the window will then close.

It is now also possible in the configuration overview to see the calendars from which appointments are synchronized.

Step 4: Viewing appointments in the Daysi Calendar

When appointments are synchronized to Daysi from an external calendar, they are displayed with a light gray background, so that they are easy to recognize. The description of the appointment and where the appointment is are of course displayed and in addition you can see which external calendar the appointment is synchronized from.
