Calendar sync keeps renewals, expiries and maintenance windows visible in the calendar app you already check, so nothing slips through because nobody was watching InfraNest that week.
#Overview
- Connect Google Calendar, Outlook Calendar, or subscribe to a private calendar feed — whichever fits how you already work.
- Each person connects their own calendar; what you connect is not shared with the rest of your workspace, but the events in it cover your whole workspace's domains, certificates and maintenance windows.
- You choose what shows up — domain expiry, certificate problems, maintenance windows, and more — with one setting that applies to both connection methods.
#Connect a calendar
- Go to Integrations, then open the Productivity section.
- Choose one of the three tiles:
- Google Calendar or Outlook Calendar (recommended) — one-click sign-in. Events land in a calendar of their own, named InfraNest · your workspace's name, and update automatically.
- Calendar feed (iCal) Pro — a private link you subscribe to from any calendar app, such as Apple Calendar, Outlook, or Google Calendar. Use this if you use a different calendar app, or one-click connecting isn't set up for your workspace.
- Follow the sign-in or subscribe steps on that page.
NoteOne-click connecting only appears once an administrator has set it up. If you see a message saying one-click Google Calendar isn't set up yet, use the calendar feed (iCal) instead — it works the same for you.
#Choose what lands in your calendar
- Open Integrations → Productivity and go to any of the three calendar pages.
- Find What goes in the calendar — this one setting controls both your feed link and any connected calendar.
- Turn each topic On or Off as you like:
| Topic | Starts | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Domain expiry | On | example.com renews or example.com expires, on the day, with reminders 14, 7 and 1 days before |
| Certificates that need you | On | Each certificate problem with a date, described the same way the Certificates page describes it, plus the expiry of any certificate nothing renews. A problem you snoozed on Home is left out |
| Automatic certificate renewals | Off | The expiry of certificates that renew themselves. Nobody has to act on these, so they're off by default |
| Maintenance windows | On | Each window you've scheduled, at its time. Repeating windows are shown 60 days ahead |
| Automation events | On | Whatever an automation's Add to calendar step puts there |
| Domain drops | Off | When a domain you watch in Drop Catch is due to drop |
Each event links back to the item in InfraNest. Expiries are all-day events.
#Add your own events with automations
- Build or edit an automation and add the Add to calendar action.
- Fill in a Title, a Date & time, and whether it's All-day.
- Optionally add a Description and set Remind me (days before).
- Use Add to to decide where the event goes: leave it on All calendars to send it to the feed and every connected calendar, or pick one specific calendar.
#Tips
TipA connected Google or Outlook calendar updates every hour, so renewing a domain moves its date within the hour. A subscribed feed only refreshes when your calendar app checks for updates, which can be every few hours — connect Google or Outlook directly if you want faster updates.
#Troubleshooting
- Nothing syncs, and you see "Reconnect needed": the calendar provider revoked InfraNest's access. Press Reconnect to start syncing again.
- Can't find one-click connecting: an administrator needs to set it up first in Admin Panel → Integrations. Use the calendar feed (iCal) in the meantime.
- Trying to add an event by editing the calendar directly: the calendar is read-only — you can't create InfraNest items this way.
- Feature missing on your plan: connecting Google or Outlook, and the calendar feed, depend on your plan. The relevant page will say if it isn't included.
- Want to stop syncing: use Disconnect. The InfraNest · … calendar and its existing events stay in Google or Outlook but stop updating, until you delete them.
- Checking what has access to your calendar: go to My account → Devices & access → Apps with access, where you can Revoke access for anything listed there.
