🎯 What’s the Difference? Campaigns vs Events

🔋 Energy: Very Light

📅 Events (You're Here!)

📣 Campaigns

  • What: Ongoing organizing efforts
  • Examples: Petition drive, advocacy push, awareness initiative

🔧 Troubleshooting

❌ Events not showing up in my calendar

This is usually due to calendar app refresh delays. Here's what to check:

  1. Check if subscription was added correctly:
    • Look for "3mpwrApp Events" in your calendar list
    • Make sure it's enabled/visible (check the checkbox next to it)
  2. Verify the URL was pasted correctly:
    • URL should be: https://your-worker.workers.dev/events.ics?env=production
    • No extra spaces or characters
  3. Force a manual refresh:
    • iOS: Settings → Calendar → Accounts → Subscribed Calendars → 3mpwrApp Events → Refresh
    • macOS: Calendar → View → Refresh All
    • Google Calendar: Wait up to 24 hours, then check again
    • Outlook: Right-click calendar → Update
  4. Check device settings:
    • Ensure internet connection is active
    • Check that calendar sync is enabled
    • Make sure device date/time is correct
  5. Wait for sync cycle:
    • New events appear on website within 5 minutes
    • Calendar apps may take 1-24 hours to sync

💡 Quick test: Visit the ICS feed URL in your browser. If you see calendar data, the feed is working. The issue is with your calendar app's sync.

⏰ Events not updating / New events don't appear

Understanding update delays:

  1. When an event is created in the app:
    • Saved to Firestore instantly
    • Appears on website within 5 minutes
    • Calendar feed updates within 1 hour (cached for performance)
  2. Your calendar app's refresh rate:
    • iOS/macOS: Usually within a few hours
    • Google Calendar: Up to 24 hours after feed updates
    • Outlook: Hourly to daily depending on settings
    • Total delay: Up to 24-48 hours from event creation to calendar app display

💡 For immediate updates: Check the website at 3mpwrapp.pages.dev/events which updates every 5 minutes!

🕐 Events showing wrong time or timezone

Timezone handling:

  • All events in the ICS feed are stored in UTC (Coordinated Universal Time)
  • Your calendar app should automatically convert them to your local timezone
  • If times look wrong:
    • Check your device's timezone settings
    • Make sure "Set time automatically" is enabled
    • Verify your location settings are correct
  • If you travel to a different timezone:
    • Events should automatically adjust to the new timezone
    • Force a calendar refresh if they don't
