Creating a calendar feed

Use our feed generator to easily create an unlimited number of calendar feeds that allow you to share your companies leave data in either Outlook or Google.

You can create feeds for the whole company, a department or an individual member of staff, then allow staff members to subscribe to the feeds. Staff members can visit the Tools section of the Left Hand Menu to find feeds that you have made available to them. 

Important Note: It is possible for staff members to share the link outside the organisation and also for staff members who have left to still be able to access the calendar feeds. 

• Login to your WhosOff Account.
• Click on Administration on the Left Hand menu
• Then click on Calendar Feeds
• You will then be presented with any feeds that have been set up for your company (you may have none at this stage)
• On the right hand side click on Add New Calendar Feed.
• Then enter the Feed Title which will provide the name of the feed
• When creating a Feed, there are 4 possible Types that you can create for, see the below breakdown of each
