You can subscribe to Team Calendars from your iPhone or iPad device using the built-in Apple Calendar for iOS. This method may also work for other mobile calendar apps that support the ability to subscribe to calendar URLs.
There are two ways to synchronize your calendar in iOS:
Two-way sync (CalDAV) allows you to view and update Team Calendar events in iOS.
Requires Team Calendars (available with Confluence Premium).
One-way sync (iCal) allows you to view—but not update—Team Calendar events in iOS.
Two-way synchronization allows you to view and update Team Calendar events in iOS.
These instructions are for iPhone running iOS 14 or later. Your version may differ slightly.
You will need the following:
Confluence API token (this will be your password)
Confluence Cloud server address
Select your profile picture in the top nav > Settings
Under YOUR SETTINGS, select Password
In the API token section, select the link Create and manage API tokens
Select Create API token
Name your API token, select Create, and then select Copy (you won’t be able to copy this later)
In the top nav, choose Apps > Calendars.
Select the the More actions menu () for your calendar in the side nav and choose Subscribe.
In the Calendar app dropdown, select Apple Calendar (iOS).
If prompted, add the calendar to My Calendars. If you don’t add it to My Calendars, it won’t sync.
Copy the server address.
Because Apple Calendar supports calendar discovery, this will be your Confluence URL, not the URL of an individual calendar. You'll be able to choose which calendars (that you've added to My Calendars) to sync in the app.
Go to Settings > Calendar > Accounts > Add account.
Select Other > Add CalDAV account.
Enter the server address you copied earlier from Confluence Cloud.
In Username field, add the email account linked to your Confluence account.
In the Password field, paste the API token you copied from Confluence Cloud.
In the Apple Calendar iOS app, select Calendars and select the calendars you want to display.
One-way synchronization means that you can view but not update Team Calendar events in your Apple Calendar iOS app.
Open Confluence.
In the top nav, choose Apps > Calendars.
Select the the More actions menu () for your calendar in the side nav and choose Subscribe.
In the Calendar app dropdown, select iCal.
Copy the server address.
Open your Apple Calendar iOS app.
Go to Settings > Calendar > Accounts > Add account.
Choose Other > Add Subscribed Calendar.
Paste the server address and select Next.
Enter any other required information and select Save.
You can now view (but not edit) Team Calendar events in Apple Calendar for iOS.
