🗓️ Sync calendar with Final Surge
Syncing your Final Surge training program to a third party calendar (such as Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, Yahoo Calendar) is a smart way to make scheduling your training around other life commitments even easier.
It can also help keep you accountable, as your upcoming training sessions will display in the calendar you most often look at – making it more difficult to forget to do (/skip!!) any of your sessions.
Syncing your training program and third party calendar also means that, if any changes are made to your program, your sessions are automatically updated across all calendars. So, no more excuses!
Fortunately, it’s super simple to turn this feature on and get started. However, you will have to activate this feature using Final Surge on desktop (it’s not currently supported in the Final Surge mobile app).
🔁 How to sync a third party calendar
First, click on the “Settings” link inside your training log next to your profile image.
Once you are on the Profile and Settings page, you will see a box in the bottom left of the screen entitled “Calendar Sync”.
Click the “Edit Sync” button in the top right of this box.
Then, simply check the radio button labeled “Turn On” and click “Save Changes”.
Once you have turned on the Calendar Sync, you will be given a Sync URL for your training program calendar. You can use this URL to sync with any third party site or application that accepts web calendar links.
Below, there is a step-by-step guide to syncing with Apple Calendar. The process is similar whichever third party calendar you use.
Copy the Sync URL from Final Surge.
Head to Apple Calendar, click “File” in the menu bar, then click “New Calendar Subscription” in the drop-down.
Paste the copied Sync URL from Final Surge into the Calendar URL field and click “Subscribe”.
That’s it! Your Final Surge training program will now display on your third party calendar.
Any changes made to your training program will sync to your third party calendar automatically, so you always know what to do and when to do it!
