How to sync CalDAV service calendar into Cozyla Calendar

Cozyla
Updated
Applies to: Cozyla+ Mobile App
 
You can connect a third-party calendar to Cozyla Calendar using CalDAV if the calendar provider supports CalDAV and provides a CalDAV URL.
 
This article uses Zoho Calendar as an example. Other calendar providers may use different settings pages or labels.
 

Make sure you have:

 
  • Access to the Cozyla+ Mobile App
  • Access to the third-party calendar account you want to connect
  • The CalDAV URL from your calendar provider
  • The email address and password required by your calendar provider
  • A stable internet connection

Find the CalDAV URL

 
  1. Open the browser on your device.
  2. Go to the third-party calendar provider’s website.In this example, we use Zoho Calendar.
  3. Log in to your calendar account.
  4. Open Settings.
  5. Find the CalDAV URL.The CalDAV URL is provided by third-party calendar services that support the CalDAV sync protocol.
  6. Tap Copy to copy the CalDAV URL to your clipboard.
 
  1. Open the Cozyla+ Mobile App.
  2. Tap Settings in the top-right corner.
  3. Tap Add next to the avatar.
  4. Select CalDAV.
  5. In the Server Address field, paste the CalDAV URL you copied.The copied URL may appear above the keyboard. Tap it to paste.
  6. Enter your calendar email address.For the Zoho example, enter your Zoho calendar email address.
  7. Enter the password required by your calendar provider.
  8. Tap Confirm.
 
After syncing is complete, events from the connected CalDAV calendar should appear in Cozyla.
 
Third-party calendars, including CalDAV calendars, can only be linked to a single user account.
 
If you reassign an event from one member to another, the event may:
 
  • Sync to the new member account if the new member has a linked calendar selected as the sync target
  • Be removed from the original linked calendar account
  • Appear to disappear or sync unexpectedly between members
To avoid issues such as events disappearing or syncing unexpectedly, we recommend adding a Profile directly to the event instead of reassigning it to another member.
 
Alternatively, you can create a dedicated Family Profile specifically for connecting this type of third-party calendar.
 

CalDAV Calendar Does Not Connect

 
If your CalDAV calendar does not connect:
 
  1. Confirm your internet connection is working.
  2. Confirm the calendar provider supports CalDAV.
  3. Confirm the CalDAV URL was copied correctly.
  4. Confirm you entered the correct calendar email address.
  5. Confirm you entered the correct password required by your calendar provider.
  6. Tap Confirm again.

CalDAV Events Do Not Appear

 
If your CalDAV events do not appear in Cozyla Calendar:
 
  1. Confirm the CalDAV calendar account is still active.
  2. Confirm the events are saved in the calendar account you connected.
  3. Confirm the correct member or profile is selected in Cozyla Calendar.
  4. Refresh Cozyla Calendar and wait a few minutes for events to sync.

Events Disappear After Reassigning Them

 
If events disappear after you reassign them to another member:
 
  1. Check whether the new member has a linked calendar selected as the sync target.
  2. Check whether the event was removed from the original linked calendar account.
  3. Add a Profile directly to the event instead of reassigning the event owner.
  4. Consider using a dedicated Family Profile for shared third-party calendar events.
