The event sharing options that have been available on Teamup Calendar when using a browser are now fully available on the Teamup mobile app for Android and iOS. To take advantage of the event sharing options, make sure that your mobile app is updated to the latest version.
New event sharing options
Communicating and planning is even easier than before! Share individual events with the built-in sharing options on Teamup mobile apps:
- Another calendar: send an event to another calendar such as Google Calendar, Outlook, or iCal.
- Another app: share an event link through other installed apps such as Message, Instagram, WeChat, or Slack.
- Browser: open an event as a web page in a browser such as Chrome or Safari.
- Email: send an event via email such as Gmail or Apple Mail.
- Social media: share an event via social media such as Facebook, Twitter, or Whatsapp.
Access the sharing options
Open your Teamup calendar in the app as usual, then tap any event to view event details:
- Tap the ••• menu in the top right.
- Tap Share.
- Choose the sharing option you want to use.
Share an event to another calendar
It’s easy to share an event to another calendar:
- tap to view the event,
- tap ••• > Share,
- tap Another calendar.
The event will open automatically in the other calendar app you have installed on your mobile device. If you have more than one calendar app, you will be prompted to choose the calendar app you wish to use.
The event details will automatically populate in your other calendar. You can adjust the details or add more information before saving the event to your calendar.
This can be a helpful event sharing option if you use Teamup Calendar for one area (such as work) and use another calendar service for a different area (for example, using Google Calendar for your personal scheduling).
Share an event to another app
You can share any event on your Teamup Calendar to another app on your mobile device:
- tap to view the event,
- tap ••• > Share,
- tap Another app.
A sharing menu will open, showing all the apps you can share an event to; the apps available will depend on which apps you have installed and enabled on your phone.
If you wish to share to an app that you have installed on your mobile device, but you do not see it included on the app sharing menu, check your device settings. You may need to enable sharing permissions for the app you wish to use.
An event shared via an app will include a link to the event page (see more details on the event page below), plus the event title and a truncated version of the event details.
Open an event as a web page
The ability to share an event as a web page is a very popular feature with Teamup users; it has many uses, and can make event organization, promotion, and management much easier.
To share an event as a webpage from the mobile apps:
- tap to view the event,
- tap ••• > Share,
- tap Browser.
You may be prompted to choose the browser you wish to use. Once you choose the browser, the event will automatically open in your mobile browser as a stand-alone webpage:
If you have enabled Signup for the event, the Signup button will appear on the event page. You can also enable Comments and set them to be visible to All Users; then Comments will also be visible on the event page.
Share the event page
Now you have some options for how to share the event page, the same as you’d open the event page in a browser on a desktop computer.
Tap the Sharing icon at the top of the event page and you will see an array of sharing buttons:
You can use one of the sharing buttons to share the event page to another calendar, in an email, or via social media. Or you can copy the page URL and share by pasting into any text message, social media status, or other application.
Share an event via email
It’s easy to share an event via email:
- tap to view the event
- tap ••• > Share
- tap Another app
- select your email provider.
You may be prompted to choose the email application you wish to use. Tap the email service, and an email will automatically open with the event details in the body of the email. There will also be a calendar link to the event page.
You can add a personal message or more details, then add the email address of the recipients and send the email.
Share an event via social media
The event sharing options on mobile include direct sharing to several social media platforms:
- tap to view the event,
- tap ••• > Share,
- choose the social media platform you wish to use: Facebook, Twitter, or Whatsapp.
Once you choose your social media platform, you may be prompted to login. If you are already logged in, you will be taken directly to the social media platform.
On Facebook and Twitter, a social media update will automatically be filled in with the event details; you can adjust the status update as desired and then share it.
On Whatsapp, you will be taken to your list of frequent contacts and recent chats.
You can choose one of these contacts or chats, or use the Search icon to search for another Whatsapp contact or group. You can share an event to more than one contact or group at a time.
Once you have chosen the contact(s), tap the green arrow; you will be taken to the chat, and then you can send the event.
In any of these social media platforms, when the recipient taps the event link, they’ll be taken to the event web page.
