1. Login to the EzyStream Admin Portal
2. Click Subscriptions in your Account Menu
3. Select Config on the Events Function
4. Give your site a name. This is only visible to users if you use more than one site (which requires our multisite function).
5. Enter the site’s physical address (It's important to format this in a way that Apple Maps and Google Maps will recognise - verify it by typing your proposed address into Apple and Google Maps on your phone).
6. Copy and paste the following two pieces of information from your Google Calendar

       a) The public Google calendar ID
       b) The calendar embed code.

Calendar Sharing Rights Required

It's important that you have "Make changes and manage sharing" rights for the calendar you are adding. Please note this feature will not work if you do not have these sharing rights. Contact your calendar administrator if you need these rights added.


To find these two settings in Google calendar
1. Log into your Google Calendar (calendar.google.com)
2. Make sure that the calendar you want to show in your app is publicly visible.
3. Click the 3 dots next to the calendar you want to share to EzyStream and select Settings and Sharing.



4. Select Integrate Calendar on the left hand menu.


5. Copy the Embed code from the ‘Public URL to this calendar’ section.

            

For example:
https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=c_ek9um0hi98neps86856ggueljc%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=Pacific%2FAuckland

6. Paste this into the Google Calendar Public URL field in EzyStream
7. Copy the Calendar Address into the Google Calendar ID field in EzyStream

8. Save your configuration
9. Go to events in your main menu.
10. Click sync on each site you have loaded individually. Google may prompt to you re-enter your Google User account information. If you do need to do this, double check the synchronisation has occurred after your enter your details. You may need to click sync a second time.


                    To authorize the synchronization you might need to authorize our developer account. If you get the message "Google hasn't verified this app" message follow this instruction:

                    a) Click the 'Advanced' link in the bottom left corner.

                   

                    b) Select the "Go to ezystream.com (unsafe)" option.

                   

                   c) Select the "Allow" button to allow EzyStream app to access your calendar.

                   

                  

                   


Auto Sync

Your calendar will automatically sync with Google once a day, so you only need to click Sync yourself if you want to see updates in your app more quickly after creating a new event.


Setting up Multisite/Extra Sites (This requires a Custom Brand App to activate)

  1. Select multisite in Subscriptions

  2. Click Add Site to add a section site location.

  3. Enter the Site name(s) and addresses

  4. Follow step 6 in Adding A Google Calandar to identify the details of your Google calendar for each site.


Using Multsite

Tip: You should create a different calendar in Google for each site and enter them individually into EzyStream/Church so that your users can quickly switch between sites and see the relevant events.
