SUBSCRIBE/EXPORT SCHEDULE
How to export or sync calendar
You can sync your ALBION Connect calendar to your Google calendar or Apple calendar.
On the ALBION Connect mobile iOS app, to sync to your iOS calendar:
Go the Calendar tab
Click on the export icon at the top left of the screen.
Click on the Subscribe button
Complete iOS calendar syncing by confirming Subscribe.
On the ALBION Connect mobile app, to sync with another calendar:
Go the Calendar tab.
Click on the export icon at the top left of the screen.
Click on the "Instructions for subscribing in other calendars"
On the ALBION Connect web app:
After you log in to your ALBION Connect web app, click on your club logo and then click on My Calendar. This will take you to your personal page with your combined calendar in case you have multiple teams.
If logged in you can also go there by clicking on the club logo on the top left to go to your dashboard page and click on "My Calendar".
Click on the "Subscribe/Export" button on the top right of your calendar. Either use the Subscribe/Export button to open your calendar and subscribe or "copy subscription link" for import into your external calendar.
If you have multiple teams and only want to subscribe to one of the team calendars, go to the team calendar and follow Step 2 above.
Note: As with other apps, the sync process and change updates take time to be reflected on Google calendars (12-24 hours is typical for apps that syncs to Google calendar). The sync process with an iOS calendar is faster. In addition, in iOS the frequency of updates can be adjusted in iOS settings.
subscribe in google calendar
Copy the desired calendar link from Byga and then add it to a web based Google calendar, as follows:
On the Byga web page for a calendar, choose "Copy Subscription Link." This puts the URL in your clipboard.
In Google calendar on the web, click the "+" (next to "Add a friend's calendar") and then "From URL".
Paste the copied link in there, and click "Add Calendar."
Note: to subscribe in google, you must use the web based google calendar as it is not possible to subscribe to a calendar in the Google calendar mobile app.
You can follow a similar process for non-Google calendars. Please follow the instructions in your calendar app.

On your iPhone or iPad, open the Google Calendar app.
In the top left, tap Menu.
In your list of calendars, tap the colored box next to a calendar name.
MANAGING ADDITIONAL USERS
ADD A CONTACT TO A PLAYER
Adding an additional player contract (e.g., a parent or guardian) is done by someone with the permission to do so. This is typically an existing player contact, a team manager or a club admin. To do this, one of these users will need to follow these steps:
Login to their web-based ALBION Connect account
Go to the player's profile (if don't see player, click on club logo then select the player)
Click on the +invite button.
Fill out the requested information. A unique email address is necessary.
Optionally, you can reduce the player contact's access level as noted below.
Players, 13 or older, can be added as a "Contact" to their own Profile.
Access level: There are two levels of player access: Player Contact (Full access) or Player Fan (Limited access).
Player Contact has FULL Access and has access to schedules, financials, evaluations, and more.
Player Fan only sees player and team event information. When adding a Contact, they are automatically added as Full access. You can click on the menu next to the player contact and select "Limit access." This will change a "Player contact" with Full access to a "Player fan" with Limited access. A Player contact with "full access" can limit access or provide full access to others.
PAYMENTS
CHANGING PAYMENT ACCOUNT NUMBER
Families can change credit card information by visiting their account invoice/payments tab, selecting the appropriate invoice, and successfully processing a payment using the new card information. Typically, ALBION Connect runs the charges late at night on the due date. A family needs to make this successful change before the auto-billing takes place. We provide an email notification about 48 hours before the auto charge — this message also has a link to their invoice where the update can be made.
