Roadcase provides iCal feeds that let you subscribe to your artist’s calendar from any app that supports the iCal standard — Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, Outlook, and more. Unlike a one-time export, a subscription feed updates automatically as events are added, changed, or removed in Roadcase.

How it works

Each artist in Roadcase has a unique iCal feed URL secured by a private token. When you subscribe to this URL from an external calendar app, it pulls your events and keeps them in sync. The feed includes events from the past three months through the next twelve months, covering your recent history and upcoming schedule. Subscribed events appear alongside your personal calendar entries, giving you a unified view of everything on your plate without leaving your preferred calendar app.

Subscribing to a feed

1

Open the subscribe dialog

On the calendar page, click the Subscribe button in the toolbar.
2

Copy the feed URL

Roadcase displays your artist’s unique iCal feed URL. Copy it to your clipboard.
3

Add to your calendar app

In your calendar app, look for an option to subscribe to a calendar by URL. Paste the feed URL and confirm. The app will fetch your events and begin syncing.

Adding to common calendar apps

iCal feeds are read-only. Events flow from Roadcase to your calendar app, but changes made in the external app are not written back to Roadcase. To edit events, use Roadcase directly.

Per-artist feeds

Each artist you belong to has its own independent iCal feed with a separate URL and token. If you manage multiple artists, you can subscribe to each one individually. This keeps each artist’s events in a distinct calendar within your app, making it easy to toggle visibility per artist.

What the feed includes

Every event on the artist’s calendar is included in the feed:
  • Shows, with venue name and location
  • Travel, meetings, interviews, rehearsals, and other event types
  • All-day events and timed events
  • Event titles and type descriptions

Auto-updating

Most calendar apps refresh iCal subscriptions on a schedule — typically every few minutes to a few hours. The exact refresh interval depends on your calendar app’s settings. When the app refreshes, it picks up any events that were created, updated, or deleted in Roadcase since the last sync.
If you need faster updates than your calendar app provides by default, check its settings for a refresh interval option. Apple Calendar, for example, lets you choose between daily, hourly, or every five minutes.

Regenerating your feed token

If your feed URL is compromised or you want to revoke access, you can regenerate the token from the subscribe dialog. The old URL stops working immediately — anyone who previously subscribed using it will no longer receive updates. Copy the new URL and update your calendar app subscription.
