Job calendars in Google Calendar, Outlook and Apple Calendar
Every job's schedule can be subscribed to from the calendar app you already use. The tasks show up as all-day events that follow their dates in Summit — move a task on the Gantt chart and the calendar catches up on its own.

Getting a job's calendar link
- Open the deal and go to the Schedule tab.
- Click 📅 Copy calendar link. The link is now on your clipboard.
- Paste it into your calendar app:
- Google Calendar — *Other calendars* → + → *From URL* - Outlook — *Add calendar* → *Subscribe from web* - Apple Calendar — *File* → *New Calendar Subscription*
Your calendar app decides how often it re-checks the link. Google is usually the slowest of the three — a schedule change can take several hours to appear there. Nobody can change the schedule from their calendar app; the subscription is read-only.
The link is a key, so treat it like one
Anyone holding the link can read that job's schedule — task names, dates and how far along each one is — without signing in to Summit. That's what makes it work in a calendar app, which has no way to log in on your behalf.
So it's fine to give a link to a subcontractor or a client who should see the programme, and it's worth thinking twice before putting one in a group chat or a shared document.
Revoking links
If a link ends up somewhere it shouldn't:
Settings → Schedule holidays → Calendar links → Revoke all calendar links, then confirm.
This is deliberately all-or-nothing. It stops every calendar link your team has ever copied, for every job, at once — there's no way to kill one link and leave the rest. Everyone who still needs a calendar goes back to their deal's Schedule tab, copies the new link and re-subscribes. Their calendar app won't do it for them: the old subscription simply stops updating.
Only account owners see the revoke action.
Tips
- Subscribe, don't import. An imported
.icsfile is a one-time snapshot; a subscription
keeps up with the schedule.
- Each job is its own calendar. Colour them separately in your calendar app and you can
see which jobs collide in a week at a glance.
- Tasks appear as all-day events covering their whole run, not as timed appointments —
a five-day task is a five-day band, not a meeting at 9am.
