Sync with Google, Outlook or Apple Calendar

Connect your own calendar to see your lmnts work there, and your other events inside lmnts.

For everyone

Connect Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook or Apple iCloud Calendar. lmnts then puts your work into a calendar called "lmnts" in that account, and can show your other events on lmnts calendars.

Connect Google Calendar or Outlook

  1. Step 1: Open My Account and the Calendars tab.

    The Calendars tab, with Connect buttons for Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook and Apple iCloud Calendar, Share my calendar below, and the list of clients to sync.
  2. Step 2: Under Connected calendars, click Connect next to Google Calendar or Microsoft Outlook.

  3. Step 3: Sign in to that account and allow access. You come back to lmnts, where it shows when it was connected.

Connect Apple iCloud Calendar

  1. Step 1: In the Calendar app on your Mac or iPhone, or at icloud.com/calendar, add a new calendar named exactly lmnts. Apple doesn't let other apps create one for you.

  2. Step 2: At appleid.apple.com, under Sign-In and Security, make an app-specific password. This is not your usual Apple ID password.

  3. Step 3: In lmnts, click Connect next to Apple iCloud Calendar. Enter your Apple ID email and the App-specific password, then click Connect.

    The Apple iCloud Calendar row open, with instructions, the Apple ID email and App-specific password fields, and a Connect button.

What goes on your calendar

  • Tasks assigned to you that have a due date, until they're completed. Move one in your calendar and its due date moves in lmnts too.
  • Scheduled posts for the clients you choose under Sync clients to my calendar: tick Sync beside each one. Every client starts off, so connecting doesn't fill your calendar all at once. A post shows as the client's name and the post's title. It leaves your calendar once it's published; one that fails to publish stays at its time until it's sorted out. In a Creator workspace this is Sync posts to my calendar.

If you log in as a client, tasks assigned to you sync. Posts don't.

See your other events in lmnts

Turn on Show my personal events at the top of any lmnts calendar to see the events from your connected calendar. Click one to change its title, date or time. See Use the calendar.

Share your calendar with a teammate

  1. Step 1: On the Calendars tab, under Share my calendar, choose someone from Add a teammate….

  2. Step 2: Tick Can edit if they may change your events too.

  3. Step 3: Click Share. They can now tick your name next to Team calendars: on their calendar.

Change Can edit or click Revoke (then confirm) to stop sharing at any time. Sharing is for teams, so it isn't there for client logins or in a Creator workspace, which is for one person.

Disconnect

Click Disconnect next to the calendar, then confirm. lmnts stops syncing and, within a few minutes, removes the posts and tasks it put in your "lmnts" calendar there. The empty "lmnts" calendar stays; delete it in Google, Outlook or Apple if you like. Personal events imported from it leave your lmnts calendar. You can connect it again at any time.
