Getting daawats into your calendar
Subscribe once and every invitation turns up on its own.
There are two ways to get a daawat into the calendar you already use. Subscribing once covers everything from then on. Saving a single event is a one-off copy.
Subscribe once, and it keeps itself up to date
Go to Profile → Add to your calendar. Everything you are invited to appears in your own calendar, and stays right without you doing anything else. You only do this once per device or account.
On an iPhone or iPad
-
1
Tap Subscribe
The Calendar app opens on its own and asks whether you want to subscribe.
-
2
Tap Subscribe again to confirm
You can pick which account it lives in and give it a colour. Daawat events then sit alongside everything else in your week.
On Google Calendar
Watch out — The Google Calendar app on Android cannot add a calendar by link. You have to do it once from a web browser — on any device — and it then appears on your phone automatically.
-
1
Tap Copy link
This puts your personal Daawat calendar address on the clipboard.
-
2
Open calendar.google.com
On a computer, or in your phone browser with the desktop site turned on.
-
3
Other calendars → From URL
In the left-hand column, tap the + beside Other calendars and choose From URL.
-
4
Paste the link and add it
It appears in your list right away, and on the Google Calendar app on your phone shortly after.
On Outlook
-
1
Tap Copy link
Same personal address as above.
-
2
Add calendar → Subscribe from web
Paste the link, give it a name, and import.
After that, all of this happens on its own:
-
New invitations arrive — Anything you are asked to shows up, including invitations you have not replied to yet — those are the ones worth seeing in the week ahead.
-
Changed times move themselves — If the host shifts the evening, your calendar follows. Nothing to re-add.
-
Cancelled events say so — A called-off daawat is marked cancelled rather than quietly left sitting there.
Note — Calendar apps check for changes on their own schedule, not ours. An update usually lands within the hour; Google can take longer. Daawat's own notifications always reach you straight away.
Watch out — Your calendar link is personal. Anyone who has it can see what you are invited to, so treat it like a password. If you have shared it by mistake, tap Replace link on the same screen — the old one stops working immediately, and you re-subscribe on your own devices.
Saving one event on its own
The Add to calendar link on an event page downloads a standard calendar file. Your phone or computer opens it in the calendar app you already use — Apple, Google and Outlook all read the same format — and you confirm the save there.
The entry carries the title, the date and times, the venue and a link back to the event page, so you can get from a calendar reminder to the guest list and menu in one tap.
Watch out — A single saved event is a copy taken at that moment. If the host later moves it, your calendar keeps the old time. Subscribing is what keeps things in step.
Which time you see
Every event is set by the clock where the host is. If you have chosen your own timezone in Profile, Daawat shows you your time instead, and your calendar does the converting the same way. The short form — EDT, PKT — sits beside the time so you always know which one you are reading.
Daawat also sends its own reminders, a day before the event and again two hours before it starts, so you do not need a calendar entry to be reminded.
