Add your visits to your calendar

See the visits you’re scheduled for next to the rest of your day. Each person creates their own private calendar link in My account, then adds it to the calendar app they already use. You only set it up once; after that your calendar app checks Stride for changes on its own.

Updated

What shows in your calendar

  • Every visit you’re the assigned technician on, from 30 days ago to six months ahead.
  • Each event shows the customer and job, the service address, and a link that opens the visit in Stride. Phone numbers, notes, and prices are never included.
  • It’s one way. Move or change visits in Stride; moving an event in your calendar doesn’t move the visit.
  • Your calendar app decides how often it checks: Apple Calendar about every hour; Google Calendar and Outlook usually within a day. For same-day changes, check Stride.

Anyone on the schedule can set it up. If the page says you aren’t on the schedule, ask an Owner or Administrator to add you on the Team page.

Create your calendar link

  1. Open My account. In the app or on a phone, select the account button at the top of Command (your picture, or a person icon in a phone browser), then My account. On a computer, select your business name at the top of the sidebar, then My account. You can also search for “calendar subscription”.
  2. Select Calendar.
  3. Select Create calendar link.
My account on a phone, listing Sign-in, Notifications, and Calendar. The Calendar row reads: See your visits in Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook.
My account lists Calendar with your other personal settings.
The Calendar screen in the Stride app before a link exists. The Calendar subscription card lists two steps, create your private calendar link and add it to Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, or Outlook, then three notes: it updates on its own, it’s one way, and what it shows. Below them are a yellow Create calendar link button and a How calendar subscriptions work button.

Add it to your calendar

Once you have a link, Add to your calendar shows one row for each calendar app. Pick the one you use.

The Add to your calendar card in the Stride app on an iPhone. Apple Calendar: Opens Calendar on this device, then select Subscribe, with an Add to Apple Calendar button. Google Calendar: Do this on a computer; open calendar.google.com, choose Other calendars, From URL, and paste your calendar link. Outlook or another app: copy your calendar link and choose Add calendar, then Subscribe from web, or From Internet in classic Outlook.
On an iPhone, Apple Calendar is one tap. Google Calendar and Outlook are added from a computer.

Apple Calendar (iPhone, iPad, or Mac)

  1. On Calendar in My account, select Add to Apple Calendar.
  2. Calendar opens and asks whether to subscribe. On an iPhone or iPad, select Subscribe, then Add. On a Mac, select Subscribe, choose iCloud as the location so your iPhone gets it too, then select OK.

Google Calendar

  1. On a computer, sign in to Stride and open My account, then Calendar.
  2. Select Add to Google Calendar. Google Calendar opens in a new tab with your link filled in.
  3. Select Add. Your visits appear under Other calendars.
The Calendar page in My account on a computer, with the section list on the left. The Add to your calendar card has rows for Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, and Outlook or another app, each with what to do, and an Add to Apple Calendar and an Add to Google Calendar button.
On a computer, Add to Google Calendar opens Google Calendar with your link filled in.

If you’d rather paste the link yourself: in Google Calendar, next to Other calendars select +, then From URL, paste your calendar link, and select Add calendar.

Outlook or another calendar app

  1. Under Your calendar link, select the copy button next to the link.
  2. In Outlook, choose Add calendar, then Subscribe from web. Paste the link, name it, and select Import. In classic Outlook for Windows, choose Add Calendar, then From Internet.

Most other calendar apps have a similar option, often called subscribe, add by URL, or add internet calendar.

The Your calendar link card on a phone. The link starts with https://app.stridejob.com/api/v1/calendar-feeds/, with a copy button beside it. Below: Private to you, a note that a calendar app last checked the link 25 minutes ago, and Get a new link and Turn off link buttons.
Your calendar link also shows when a calendar app last checked it.

Keep your link private

Anyone who has your link can see your visits, including customer names and addresses. Don’t share it or post it anywhere.

  • Get a new link if you shared it by mistake. The old link stops working right away, and calendars using it empty out at their next check. Add the new link where you want your visits.
  • Turn off link to stop the subscription. Calendars subscribed to it empty out at their next check. You can create a new link at any time.
  • If you leave the business, your link stops showing visits on its own.

If something looks wrong

  • A visit I just changed hasn’t moved. Your calendar app hasn’t checked yet. Apple Calendar checks about every hour; Google Calendar and Outlook usually within a day. Stride always has the current schedule.
  • Add to Apple Calendar does nothing. That button works on an iPhone, iPad, or Mac. On other devices, use Google Calendar from a computer or copy the link.
  • My calendar is empty. Check that you’re the assigned technician on upcoming visits, and that you added your newest link. If you selected Get a new link, the old link no longer shows visits. The calendar also stays empty while your business’s Stride plan doesn’t include scheduling.
