Event Synchronization time
When you synchronize the calendar and add the events, the events will not get updated immediately. It will take a bit of time for events to synchronize depending on the file size of the calendar.
The time duration based on file size is mentioned below:
- Up to 100kb - 1 hour
- Up to 1.5mb - 4 hours
| alert-warning | Please note that the maximum iCal file size is 1.5MB. If the file size is greater than 1.5MB, the calendar will not be imported. |
| alert-warning | The iCal integration is currently only supported on Neo Webmail and the Neo Desktop PWA. Calendars added via iCal will not appear or sync on Neo's Mobile apps |
