What Happens Automatically?
- From Gumb to Apple: If you add/change something in Gumb, your Apple Calendar updates automatically within minutes.
- From Apple to Gumb: Changes in the Apple Calendar donât affect Gumb. Edit or delete as you wish â Gumb remains unchanged.
Direct Links in Your Calendar:
Each Gumb event now has a clickable link, allowing you to manage your attendance directly in the app.
Good to Know:
- Immediate Synchronization: Linking Gumb with your calendar syncs all events from the last week onwards, with no end date. You wonât miss a thing.
- Admin Changes: If an admin makes changes in Gumb, youâll see it after reloading the Apple Calendar page. It may take a moment.
- Removed by Admin? If an admin removes someone from the community, synchronization for that person ends. All Gumb events disappear from their Apple Calendar.
Can't See Your Calendar Subscription?
- If your calendar isnât appearing on all devices, ensure youâre signed in to iCloud with the same Apple ID.
- Subscribed calendars wonât update on iCloud.com or Outlook; check directly on your Apple devices.
- After restoring calendars from iCloud.com, re-subscribe to ensure theyâre up-to-date.
Unsubscribing from a Calendar
Clicking "Disconnect" in Gumb will remove all appointments from your Apple Calendar, but the calendar itself might still be visible. You can remove it as follows:
- On macOS: Open Calendar, right-click the calendar you want to remove, and select Unsubscribe.
- On iOS: Open Calendar, tap Calendars, select the Gumb calendarâs info button, and choose Delete Calendar.
