Professional Email - Calendar Sharing

Calendar sharing lets you give your team, or specific people, access to one of your calendars in HostGator Professional Email. Shared calendars show up automatically in each person's Calendars list, and you choose the permission level for each person. You can only share a calendar with people who have a Professional Email account.

What Happens After You Share

The person you shared with typically receives an email about the calendar, and the calendar is added to their Calendars list automatically. In most cases, they don't need to accept an invitation.

Troubleshooting

• Problem: The person you shared with can't make changes to the calendar.
  • Cause: They don't have edit permission.
  • Fix: Update their permission so they can edit the calendar.
• Problem: You can't share the calendar with certain email addresses.
  • Cause: Calendar sharing currently works only with Professional Email accounts.
  • Fix: Share the calendar only with Professional Email addresses.
