Important: Calendar Integration must be enabled for your organization to perform the functions on this support page. Reach out to your Customer Success Manager to setup Calendar Integration.
The KaiNexus calendar integration makes it easy to incorporate your KaiNexus activity with the rest of your work. This feature pulls Items from KaiNexus and adds them to your third-party calendar so you can easily keep track of important dates.
The KaiNexus Calendar view can be integrated with any third-party calendar that uses .ics format. For example, you can subscribe to your KaiNexus calendar using:
When you subscribe to a KaiNexus calendar, it will show up in your third-party calendar with the calendar name “KaiNexus: [Name of your list]."
Each Item’s title will appear as the name of the event and there will be a direct link to that Item in the event description.
The integration provides for read-only access and is not a two-way sync. This means that changes made in KaiNexus will be reflected on your third-party calendar, but changes you make on the third-party calendar will not be applied to the Item in KaiNexus.
The integration supports the sharing of up to 500 Items and includes Items dated 30 days prior to today and 60 days into the future. While we do request third-party services such as Outlook and Google to refresh the calendar every hour, they have been known to take between 24-48 hours to update.
Subscribe to a calendar feed
In order to get your Items to show up in your third-party calendar, you’ll first need to create a custom List in the Calendar View. You should apply filters to make sure the information you're interested in is included in the List.
For more information on custom Lists, check out this support article.

Once your custom List is ready, open it and then:
- Click Actions at the top of the List.
- Click Calendar URL in the resulting drop-down menu and the Calendar URL popup will appear.
- Click Copy to copy the URL to your clipboard. This URL is what you'll paste into your third-party calendar in order to subscribe to the KaiNexus calendar.

WARNING: This calendar URL is unique for each user and each calendar, and should not be shared between users. Keep the URL as secure as you would a password. Anyone with the URL could subscribe to this calendar, regardless of whether they have access to the Items in KaiNexus. However, they would not be able to open the Items in KaiNexus (even if it appears on their calendar) unless their KaiNexus permissions allow access.
Removing a calendar
If you delete the List that a calendar feed references, that calendar will also be deleted from your third-party calendar platform.
To keep the saved List in KaiNexus but remove it from your third-party calendar platform, unsubscribe from that calendar in your third-party app.
Resetting calendar URLs
Resetting calendar URLs will deactivate any links you have previously shared with third-party apps.
When you reset your calendar URLs, any calendar links you have previously shared with third-party apps will be deactivated. You will need to provide those apps with new URLs in order for them to continue accessing your saved calendars.
