Add a Heja calendar to UpNext Family

Before you start

Check your access

• You must be a member of the team in Heja.
• Heja lists calendar sync as a Heja Plus feature. If the option is missing, check whether your team or account has Heja Plus.

Part 1

Copy the link from Heja

1. Open Heja and go to the team’s Schedule.
2. Tap the icon in the upper-right corner.
3. Choose Copy calendar link from the menu at the bottom of the screen.
4. Paste the link straight into UpNext on the same iPhone. Do not post it in a team chat.

Provider note: Heja also offers Subscribe to team schedule, which sends the calendar to Apple Calendar instead of showing the link. Choose Copy calendar link for UpNext.

Part 2

Add the link to UpNext

1. Open UpNext Family, go to Settings, find Calendar Feeds, then choose Manage → Add Calendar.
2. On “Where does your schedule live?”, choose Calendar link.
3. Expand “Need help finding a calendar link?” and choose Heja; follow the short cue.
4. Paste the private subscription URL into the calendar link field, then choose Preview and continue.
5. On “Who is this for?”, choose the family member and enter the group name and activity. Season and notes are optional.
6. Choose Review import, check the schedule preview, then choose Import calendar.

Part 3

Confirm that it is working

Open Settings, then choose Calendar Feeds. The new calendar should show its provider, upcoming-event count, and an OK status after the first import. Use Refresh calendars → Check now later to ask connected calendars for current changes.

UpNext displays only a redacted source address after import. It does not show the private path, query, or token again.

Troubleshooting

If the calendar does not load

• If Copy calendar link is missing, confirm that you opened the Schedule view rather than a single event, and check the Heja Plus requirement.
• If the preview is empty, check whether the team has upcoming events in Heja.
• If the schedule later stops updating, copy a fresh calendar link from Heja and replace the feed in UpNext.
• Make sure you copied a subscription URL beginning with webcal://, http://, or https:// — not an ordinary event page.
• If the provider only gives you a downloaded .ics file, return to Add Calendar and choose Calendar file. That is a one-time import and will not refresh automatically.
