How to connect my uSked calendar via iCalendar (iCal)?

Ūsked has support for calendar applications that understand the iCalendar standard. The Ūsked iCalendar data is read-only, and can not be modified by any calendar application.

Where

From your Ūsked web portal visit Your Account > Your iCalendar URL. You may copy this iCalendar URL and then paste it into the appropriate setting within the calendar application you want to use. 

Note: There is a hard limit of 500 past service requests and 500 future service requests that can be included in the iCalendar data.

NOTE: Google Calendar synchronizes with your Ūsked calendar only once every 12 hours, and it is not guaranteed to update. For this reason, please do not rely on Google Calendar to pull up to date information from your Ūsked calendar in a timely manner. Unfortunately, Google controls this sync time frame (as shown under the Add using a link section of this article on their help center.)

Android Calendar

Android calendars work using Google Calendar, so all of the instructions for Google Calendar also applies to the Android calendar application. Once you add your iCalendar URL to the Google Calendar, it will also magically appear in the Calendar application on your Google devices.
