How updates reach subscribers
Publish once, and every subscriber's calendar updates on its own.
When you publish an update to your schedule, it becomes available in the live calendar feed immediately. Each subscriber's calendar app picks it up on its next refresh. No action required from you or your subscribers.
The update flow
- You make changes in the editor (add, edit, or remove events).
- Changes save as a draft automatically.
- You click Publish updates.
- The live calendar feed updates instantly.
- Each subscriber's calendar app syncs on its next refresh cycle.
Sync timing
OnThree asks calendar apps to refresh every 15 minutes. Apple Calendar and Outlook typically honor this. Google Calendar refreshes on its own schedule and can take up to 24 hours. Nothing either of you can do to speed it up.
What "publish" means
Changes you make in the editor are saved as a draft and are invisible to subscribers. Clicking Publish updates is what makes them live. This gives you time to review changes before anyone sees them.
Subscribers never need to do anything. Once they've subscribed, every published update reaches them automatically. They don't re-subscribe, they don't check a link. It just shows up.
