Send a calendar or event link
Know a calendar we should watch?
Send the link to a public calendar or to one event's posting. We check new links every day and add a calendar once it has a feed we can read.
Thank you. We will look at the link within a few days and add the calendar if we can read it; a single event appears once the posting itself confirms the title and date.
We could not take that link. A link starts with http:// or https://, and an event needs its title and date as the posting shows them.
That is five links today from this connection; please send the rest tomorrow.
We cannot read that site; a link to the group's own page or calendar works.
