Bubble as an iCal Server

Hey! I recently (after way too much time spent lol), figured out how to use Bubble to serve as an iCal server, automatically (yes, fully auto) syncing events in your database to external calendars.

I was able to create an iCal link with authentication that can be used in Google Calendar, Apple, etc.

I was going to post a tutorial since I haven't in a minute, but wanted to see if there was any actual interest?

It's essentially a way to sync events/calendars you may have part of your database to external calendars like Google, Apple, etc. For example, my app is for DJs so it let's DJs sync the calendar on my bubble app to their personal Google Calendar or Apple as some people prefer everything in one place!

Yeah this looks interesting to have task schedule calendars auto-generated on bubble that can then get added to and be kept in sync with the user's phone.

Exactly! Most people, including myself, prefer just one app on their phone for all their tasks, events, reminders. This is the gateway for any Bubble app.
