You can now synchronise your Diary with external calendars, such as Google Calendar or Outlook! This will allow you to keep track of all of your viewings, meetings and any other tasks you have in your diary, all in your preferred calendar app!
Setting up
The first step to synchronising you calendar is to link the diary to your preferred app. We support any app that allows you to allows you to subscribe to a calendar from a URL, and it should be just a case of adding that URL into the calendar from within that calendars settings menu.
