Add a Crossbar calendar to UpNext Family

Before you start

Check your access

• You must be signed in to the Crossbar-powered website used by your club.
• The Family Calendar can include every participant connected to your account. Check UpNext’s preview before importing it for one child.

Part 1

Copy the link from Crossbar

1. Sign in to your club’s Crossbar website.
2. Open Family Calendar from the upper-left area of the site.
3. Select Calendar Feed in the upper-right corner.
4. Find the option for another calendar service and copy the URL shown there.
5. Do not share the URL; it can reveal the family schedule connected to your Crossbar account.

Provider note: Crossbar’s feed may combine multiple participants. If you need a single-player calendar, Crossbar recommends attaching a separate login to that participant and subscribing from that account.

Part 2

Add the link to UpNext

1. Open UpNext Family, go to Settings, choose Connected calendars, then choose Manage or Add → Add calendar.
2. On “Where does your schedule live?”, choose Calendar link.
3. Expand “Need help finding a calendar link?” and choose Other; 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 Connected calendars. 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 Family Calendar is empty, the participant may not be rostered yet or the organization may not have published events.
• If a child is missing, confirm that the participant is associated with the Crossbar account you used.
• If UpNext’s preview includes several children, use a family-level group name or create the participant-specific Crossbar access described by your club.
• 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.
