# Integrating with Outlook or Google Calendar

*For customers of our PTO module.*

---

This article explains how to integrate the Built Calendar with an external calendar, such as Outlook or Google Calendar.

## 1. Copy the iCal URL

*Only Company Admins and HR Admins can share the calendar or copy an iCal URL link. Learn about* [*managing user roles and permissions*](/v1/docs/managing-user-roles-and-permissions)*.*

1. Click the **Share** button on your Built calendar.
2. From the list of available iCal feeds, click the **Copy URL** link next to the feed that contains the calendar information you wish to share with an external calendar.

*Learn about* [*managing your iCal feeds*](/v1/docs/manage-your-ical-feeds-video-included)*.*

## 2. Paste the iCal URL into your external calendar

Depending on the calendar you use and its version, the steps for adding a calendar using a link may vary. You should be able to add any calendar, but you may need to find additional instructions online.

### For Microsoft Outlook: [See Video](/v1/docs/connecting-to-outlook-calendar-video)

1. Open your Outlook calendar.
2. Click **Add Calendar**.
3. Select **Subscribe from Web**.
4. Paste the iCal link from Built into the field.

### For Google Calendar: [See Video](/v1/docs/connecting-to-google-calendar-video)

1. Open your Google calendar.
2. Locate **Other Calendars** and click the arrow.
3. Click **Add by URL**.
4. Paste the iCal link from Built into the field.​

*Because Google and Outlook determine how often to synchronize external calendar data, new PTO requests may take up to 24 hours to show on your calendar. To view real-time PTO requests and approvals, navigate to your Built calendar.*
