These calendars can be synchronized with external calendars. Synchronizing calendars with external calendars (.ical format) such as Google Calendar, gives access to the consultation and/or modification of events in other computer applications.

Synchronize a calendar​

In order to synchronize the calendar of your email (Google) with the ABS interface, for example, you must set up this synchronization.

You must fill in the fields like this:

  • URL: calendar.google.com (for GCAL)
  • Type: the type of your external calendar, for example GCAL for Google Calendar.
  • Enable SSL if necessary: The SSL protocol secures synchronization by encrypting the transport layer.
  • Advanced synchronization: it is very important to specify the type of event to synchronize. By specifying that it is a CRM synchronization, when modifying from the remote calendar the CRM event will be modified not only in the iEvent calendar but also in the calendar of the CRM module.
  • Synchronization period (week): number of weeks before and after the synchronization date, only the events of this period will be synchronized, this choice can also impact the synchronization processing time. It is not recommended to exceed 1 week for performance reasons.
  • Priority to the remote calendar: by checking this box you prioritize the remote calendar when synchronizing the two calendars.
  • Identification: Before any identification it is necessary to authorize the connection of the ERP to your external account, for Google Calendar it is enough to check this box via the following link “https://myaccount.google.com/lesssecureapps”. Enter your login details and login.
