    I don't think you can import an external calendar directly what you could do is look at the web version of that calendar and use the webpage item to display it.

    Hi David -- can you share a little more details on what you are trying to do in Proclaim? are you looking to create a bunch of presentations in advance based on pre-populated events on your calendar?

    Hi David,

    Yes that's it exactly. We produce a weekly email from our calender (ChurchSuite) and then spend hours peicing together slides of the announcements in Powerpoint and importingbthem to Proclaim. Is there an easier and more direct way to do the announcement slides? We get mistakes between the email and the pot slides as well so I am hoping to find a way to produce both with the same data from the calendar.

    Regards,

    David

    Got it. I don't believe we currently support anything like that, but I really like the concept! Integrate your calendar of events and then we can automagically create slides for you in Proclaim.

    I'm curious why you are creating in Powerpoint and then importing to Proclaim? Have you tried using the Announcement service item type?

    @David, this was the dream before you joined the team. Faithlife Groups had calendars that interacted with proclaim.

    So I guess the answer is a no?

    That’s disappointing. 

    Can Import an excel file where the cells make a slide?
