iCloud Integration

Before delving into the details of this article about the connection, there are some key points to keep in mind:

1. The integration with iCloud Calendar is compatible only with the Class Booking, Round Robin, Collective, and Service Calendar. Simple calendar integration with iCloud Calendar is not supported.

2. With iCloud integration, only a "One way" sync is possible. This means that any event created in the Leadconnector app will be pushed to the iCloud calendar. If you make any changes in the Leadconnector calendar for those appointments, the same changes will be updated in your iCloud calendar.

3. However, changes made to an event or appointment created on your iCloud calendar will not be reflected in the Leadconnector calendar. The events created will still be displayed on the Leadconnector Calendar view and considered when checking for available slots, but updates to those events in iCloud will not be reflected in the Leadconnector Calendar.

For example:

- If you have an appointment named "Hair Cut" that was booked in the Leadconnector application, it will be pushed to the iCloud calendar. Even if you update or delete this appointment, the same changes will be reflected in the iCloud calendar.

- On the other hand, consider an appointment created in iCloud, such as "Pick John from school." This event will be factored into the Leadconnector calendar's available slot calculations and will be displayed in the Leadconnector calendar. However, any changes made to this appointment in the iCloud calendar will not be reflected in the Leadconnector application.

Now, let's explore how to integrate your iCloud Calendar with the Leadconnector application:

Please note that the iCloud integration is a one-way sync, meaning changes you make will sync to the iCloud calendar, but changes made in iCloud will not reflect in the application calendar.

To connect your iCloud Calendar with Leadconnector, follow these steps:

Step 1: Obtain your unique app-specific password from Apple.

Before you can integrate your iCloud calendar with the Leadconnector Calendar, you'll need to obtain an app-specific password from Apple. This unique password is separate from your regular Apple account password.

Apple requires the use of an app-specific password, in addition to enabling two-factor authentication, when connecting to third-party applications like Leadconnector Calendar.

Here's how to obtain your app-specific password:

1. Sign in to https://appleid.apple.com/.

2. If you haven't already done so, enable two-factor authentication under the Security section.

In the App-Specific Passwords section, choose 'Generate Password.'

 .    

Enter a label for the password (for instance, "Leadconnector Calendar") and click 'Create.'

Copy the generated app-specific password for use in connecting your iCloud calendar with Leadconnector Calendar.

Step 2: Integrating iCloud with Leadconnector Calendar

1. Click on the Settings button from the left navigation panel
2. Select My Profile and go to Integrations
3. You should see the option with iCloud Calendar click on Connect
4. You then will be asked to enter your iCloud Email Address and your app-specific password which you created in Step 1
5. Your iCloud is Connected

Step 3: Configure Primary and Check for Conflict Calendars

What is Primary Calendar and how is it different from Check for conflicts?

1. Go to My Profile
2. Click on Calendar Configuration
3. Click on Edit under Primary Calendar
4. Select the account from the list of accounts. Please remember the list would only show those accounts which are integrated with Leadconnector application
5. Save and you are all set with your Primary Calendar
