Notifications and your calendar feed

This guide is for anyone with an account: drivers, co-drivers, officials and organisers all use the same notification settings and calendar link.

Read your notifications

1. Choose the bell in the top bar. It is labelled "Notifications", with the number unread when there are any.
2. The page "Notifications" lists updates about your entries, documents and more. It says how many are unread, or "You are all caught up."
3. Open an item to go to what it is about. Choose "Mark read" on one item, or "Mark all read" for the lot.
4. Choose "Settings" on that page to change what you receive.

Choose what you get

1. Open your settings and choose "Notifications", or choose "Settings" on the Notifications page.
2. For each topic, tick "Email", "In the app" or both. The topics are:
   • "Entries and payments": scrutineering times, payment requests and reminders, and other updates about your entries.
   • "Documents": licences, medicals and other documents that are due or about to expire.
   • "Bulletins": bulletins and notices an organiser sends to the field.
   • "Rosters and officials": rosters, briefings and volunteer sign-ups.
   • "Membership": renewals and other news about your club memberships.
   • "Newsletters and mailouts": newsletters and mailouts from clubs and organisers.
   • "Forum": replies and activity in forum threads you follow.
3. Choose "Save".

Some messages cannot be switched off. Under "Always sent": security notices, sign-in links, receipts and signed documents, legal and protest notices, and account messages.

Add your events to your calendar

Your calendar link adds the events you enter, organise, officiate, volunteer at or sanction to your own calendar app, with roster call times. It updates by itself.

1. Open your settings and choose "Calendar". The page is called "Your private calendar link".
2. Choose "Make my link".
3. Copy the link now. The page says "Copy your link now": this is the only time it is shown. Anyone who has it can read your events, so keep it to yourself.
4. Choose "Subscribe in Apple, Google or Outlook calendar", or paste the link into your calendar app's "subscribe from URL" option.

Only part of your events

Beside the main link there are links for just one part of your events: "Past entrants" (events you entered), "Rostered officials" (events you are rostered or volunteering at) and "Committee (organiser staff)" (events your organisation runs). Subscribe to one if you want a calendar that only shows that part.

Replace or stop the link

• "Make a new link" stops the old one working and gives you a new one. Do this if the link may have been shared.
• "Revoke my link" stops it with no replacement.
• The page shows when the link was made and when a calendar app last used it.

Calendar apps refresh by their own schedule, usually every few hours, so a change may not show straight away.

Not the same as the public feed

Organisers also publish a public calendar of their events for their website. That one lists public events only and needs no sign-in. See Put your events on your own website.

If something goes wrong

• You are not getting emails. Check the "Email" box for that topic. Then check your spam folder. If your address has bounced, we stop sending to it.
• The calendar shows nothing. Make sure you have events you entered or are rostered at. A new link can take a little while for your calendar app to load.
• You lost the link. It cannot be shown again. Choose "Make a new link".
