# Calendar Integration: Google, Outlook, Apple

As an instructor, you can sync your ActiveNow schedule with an external calendar app. This article explains how to set it up.

## How to integrate your calendar

The integration uses a link. To get it, go to the *My calendar* tab in ActiveNow and click the *Change view* button in the upper-right corner. From the options that appear, select *External integration*.

A window will open with your calendar integration link — copy it.

Paste the link into your calendar app to complete the integration. For step-by-step instructions, refer to the help article for your calendar:

* **Google** → [Add a calendar using a link](https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/37100?hl=en\&co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop\&oco=1)
* **Microsoft Outlook** → [Import calendars to Outlook](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/import-calendars-to-outlook-8e8364e1-400e-4c0f-a573-fe76b5a2d379)
* **Apple** → [Set up multiple calendars on iPhone](https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/iph3d1110d4/ios)

Once integrated, all courses shown in your Instructor Panel schedule will appear in your external calendar app.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Important:**

1. Changes in the external calendar become visible after it refreshes. How quickly this happens depends on your calendar provider.
2. Changes made in the external calendar are **not** synced back to ActiveNow. To edit a lesson time, always do so from within the system.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.activenow.io/en/instructor-panel/calendar-integration-google-outlook-apple.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
