Shortcut Installation

iOS shortcuts can enhance your planner by integrating with Apple/Google Calendar and Reminders, allowing you to receive notifications for your scheduled events and tasks. This guide will walk you through the installation process.

In order to use the integration, you MUST install the Apple Shortcut onto your iPad. (Please download the shortcut file from your download dashboard.) This will enable communication with the integrated hyperlinks in your planner and direct them to open your calendar apps and Reminders app when activated.

Please note that while you can easily add events and information from your digital planner to these apps using the shortcut features, the apps, and the planner do not sync.
