One of its feature is that now connect your canUmeet account to your Calendar and never miss your booked events.
This knowledge base focuses on how to connect your canUmeet account and iCloud Calendar.

- Check calendar for conflict: It will be a blunder if you get more than one meeting scheduled at same time on same date. To overcome that blunder, canUmeet has introduced conflict checking mechanism. Conflict checking is one of the most exciting features at canUmeet. Once you are connected to your iCloud Calendar, others can see only the time in which you are available and free for the event. You can now select calendars from list of calendars section under conflict checking.
canUmeet strongly recommends you to tick all the calendars available to prevent double bookings. Here I am selecting P4P fitness calendar, some calendar for conflict checking.
Lets take an example to explain how Conflict checking mechanism at canUmeet works.
Here we can see in first screenshot I have events booked at 1PM-2PM and 4PM-5PM.
Now when some individual is trying to book a time with me, in the time selection slot, these time wont be available for booking bringing conflict checking into the scene. Take a look into below screenshot.
- Add New Events to Calendar: Lets assume that you have a number of calendars created in your apple account and want to save your booked events to one of these calendars. If you enable this option you will now be able to choose the calendar on which you want to save your events. Here in the image below we can see all my events is getting synced in notification calendar.
