How do I show events on a separate guest calendar while ops stays on one schedule?

Guests subscribe to personal ICS feeds; staff run one ops schedule on Schedule and staff calendar feed.

ZettlorUpdated August 26, 2026

Guest ICS feeds show the guest their own bookings and subscribed events. Ops uses one Schedule view plus staff calendar feed, not the guest personal feed.

What Zettlor does today

Guests get per-customer or event ICS URLs for their calendar app. Staff operations stay on Schedule for all sauna and cold plunge sessions. Staff calendar feed powers staff calendar subscriptions separate from guest ICS.

This behavior is live in Zettlor today for a commercial sauna and cold plunge room. Guest booking, cancel, and credit self-serve steps stay on Help. This page is for operators.

Desk path

Schedule for ops; guest ICS links from booking confirmation; staff calendar feed for staff subscriptions.

Do not invent a settings path beyond what is listed here. If the product does not include a control, the desk workaround is the path.

Failure mode

Operators subscribe ops to guest ICS and miss staff-only rows or capacity tools. Ops calendar should stay on Schedule, not a member feed.

Operator example

Reddit NYC members add sauna bookings to Apple Calendar via ICS while managers run the full room day on Schedule.

A sauna and cold plunge operator can copy the shape of this example without copying another brand's private pricing or customer lists.

How to do this

  1. Confirm guest confirmation emails include ICS subscribe links where enabled.
  2. Keep desk and ops on Schedule for live capacity and overrides.
  3. Point staff calendar apps to staff calendar feed, not guest ICS.
  4. Do not merge guest and staff feeds into one ops subscription.
  5. Use event create for public events that should appear on guest-facing calendars.

Does guest ICS show the full room schedule?

No. Guest ICS shows that guest's bookings and subscribed event feeds, not the full ops schedule.

Where does ops see every session?

Schedule and staff calendar feed for staff; one combined ops view, separate from guest ICS.
