Chapter 7 · Booking
Put your bookings in Google, Apple or Outlook
Mankai gives you a private calendar link. Paste it into Google, Apple or Outlook Calendar once, and your sessions show up there without any typing.
The calendar there is read-only. You still add and change sessions in Mankai.
Step by step
Get there
Press the gear icon at the top right.
Press Integrations.
Set it up
Press Edit on the Calendar sync card.
Press Copy beside Your calendar link.
Keep the link private. Anyone who has it can see your calendar. To show every event only as Busy, turn on Hide the details.
Which calendar do you use?
Google Calendar
Google lets you add a calendar by link only on a computer, in a web browser. The Google Calendar app on a phone cannot do it. Google’s own steps are on its help page.
On a computer, open Google Calendar. Next to Other calendars, press Add other calendars, then choose From URL.
Paste your Mankai link into the box, then press Add calendar.
You're done when
Your Mankai calendar shows under Other calendars on the left. Google checks the link on its own schedule, so a new booking can take a while to appear.
Apple Calendar
Pick the steps for your Mac or for your iPhone and iPad. Apple’s own steps are on its help pages for the Mac and the iPhone.
On a Mac
Open the Calendar app. In the menu bar, choose File, then New Calendar Subscription.
Paste your Mankai link and press Subscribe. Type a name such as
Northlight bookings, then press OK.
On an iPhone or iPad
Open the Calendar app and press the calendars button at the bottom. Tap Add Calendar, then Add Subscription Calendar.
Paste your Mankai link and tap Find.
You're done when
Your Mankai calendar shows in the calendar list. Apple updates it on its own schedule.
Outlook
These steps are for Outlook.com and Outlook on the web. Microsoft’s own steps are on its help page.
Open Outlook on the web and sign in. Choose Calendar, then press Add calendar.
Choose Subscribe from web.
Paste your Mankai link into the box, then press Import.
Work and school accounts may show Import and Save instead.
You're done when
Your Mankai calendar shows in your calendar list. Outlook can take a day or more to show a new booking.
If something's not right
I shared the link by mistake
In the same panel in Mankai, press Create a new link. The old link stops working, so paste the new one into your calendar.
A new booking is not in my calendar yet
Google, Apple and Outlook each check the link on their own schedule. Give it some time, and look at Mankai’s calendar for the latest.
