Log in to calendar.google.com in your browser.

On the left side, find the calendar you want to access in Clockk. When you mouse over the calendar, 3 dots will appear to the right. Click those.

Don’t see the “Secret address in iCal format”?

If the Secret address in iCal format is missing in your calendar settings it will be because your G Suite Admin needs to enable this option (it is, by default, disabled).

  • Go to the G Suite Admin Dashboard and log in
  • Click Apps
  • Click G Suite
  • Click Calendar
  • Click Sharing Settings
  • Go to External sharing options for primary calendars and select “Share all information, but outsiders cannot change calendars”
