Subscription options explained We invite you to learn about each of the ways visitors can subscribe. iCalendar feeds and files In the subscribe window, you are given two iCalendar options. You can subscribe to an iCalendar feed or download an iCalendar file. iCalendar subscribe (recommended) When you subscribe to an iCalendar feed, you should see a URL or link in your Internet browser. In most cases, the browser will automatically send the iCalendar feed to your calendar program. If the calendar program supports the iCalendar format, it will download the event information into a new or existing calendar and establish a connection with the online calendar so new events will automatically be added. For more details about iCalendar subscriptions with specific calendars or devices, see Subscribe to iCalendar feed. iCalendar download While you will be able to download an iCalendar (.ics) file, it would not be automatically updated so we encourage you to use the iCalendar subscription option. RSS and Atom feeds You can subscribe to feeds of VCS events in either RSS or Atom (XML) format. Recent versions of common web browsers display feeds right in the browser. After the feed displays, you can decide whether or not to subscribe. Visitors who use feed readers can find the subscription URL in the browser's address bar. The URLs look like this: • RSS http://www.trumba.com/calendars/calendarwebname.rss • Atom http://www.trumba.com/calendars/calendarwebname.xml More event actions Not only you can add events to your personal calendar, you can set up event reminders, post events on Twitter and Facebook, and more.
