Using redmics¶ ↑

The plugin redmics exposes an ICS calendar view of your Redmine issues at a specific webcal address. The webcal address can be used to subscribe to the ICS calendar from other applications. For example, to subscribe to an ICS webcal with Mozilla Thunderbird 78.3.1, do the following:

1. Log-in to your Redmine user account

2. In Redmine, go to “Projects” -> “Gantt”. In the ICal sidebar, left-click on one of the options to get the webcal address displayed in the address bar of the web browser.

3. Run Mozilla Thunderbird

4. In Mozilla Thunderbird, open the calendar tab (main menu -> “Events and Tasks”).

5. In the left side panel, left-click on the button with a plus symbol icon (“New calendar…”). Select source: “Network” -> “Next”. Select format: iCalendar (ICS). In the address field, enter +webcal://<webcal-address>+ (replace the placeholder +<webcal-address>+ with the webcal address from step 2). Left-click “Next”. Enter a calendar name.
