Is there a way to key on information passed through a linked ical calendar that would allow us to apply different categories or tags to different events? For example, we are passing a large amount of events from another student group calendar, but a subset of those events need to be tagged differently than others. Is this possible?
Hi Kevin,
Sure thing – if you’re hand-building an iCal feed, you can use
CATEGORIES:
to match Event Types and
X-LIVEWHALE-TAGS:
to add Tags to individual events.
More in our docs Supported iCal fields in LiveWhale Linked Calendars
Note, tags/types from the iCal feed will only get added to events when they’re first synced to LW, so if you change the iCal later you may need to “Save and reset all events” from the Linked Calendar to capture those types/tags.
Otherwise, you can manually add/remove event types and tags from linked calendar events inside of LWC using the Edit Event page.
(Last option would be a custom module that might filter things in an automated way: “if this event meets these criteria, add/remove these types/tags automatically”).
Hope this helps!
