The web is full of great applications that perform specific tasks really well (in some cases "really, really" well). We're big fans of creating solid interfaces to some of the best web applications with Siteflex, every time we do it opens up tons of new user-driven possibilities and opportunities.

One of the web applications the Siteflex team takes advantage of on a day to day basis is Google Calendar, which is one big reason we're excited to launch our Siteflex Events iCalendar interface.

iCalendar for Siteflex Events allows you to easily synchronise and distribute your Siteflex Event data to your community using an iCalendar URL or a simple Calendar file download.

• Individual Events
  Allow your customers to subscribe to a reminder about a particular upcoming event of interest.
   
• Events by Category
  Subscribe to a flexible, targeted list of Events from a particular Events category.
   
• All Events
  Subscribe to a Siteflex website's entire Events catalogue.
   

We've already begun using it ourselves, with Google Calendar. Getting your Siteflex Events to your community is as simple as hitting up Google Calendar's "Add by URL" feature, subscribe, done! Any changes to Siteflex Events then automatically update* your Google Calendar without you or the calendar subscriber having to do anything beyond the initial setup.

List your school's events, business' training sessions, trade event's daily session schedule, and all of your organisation's upcoming important dates.

Still using desktop-based E-mail clients? We've also setup vCalendar for Siteflex Events, which is the file type used in many older programs, Microsoft Outlook included.

All Events-enabled Siteflex websites now have access to this feature. Want to discover more about how to use iCalendar to keep your community informed? Talk to us about setting this up for your Siteflex website today.

* - All URL-based Calendars do not instantly update Google Calendar with any changes to their related Events.
