Third-party calendars can be embedded to your site if they are published publicly and if their X-Frame options allow for embedding. X-Frame restrictions offer security features for web browsers, which allow other websites to deny placing their content within another site. In this case, the content is the third-party calendar.
Based on our recent evaluations, calendars from Microsoft Outlook, Google and Teamup can be embedded as sections or tiles to Zoomforth sites!
If calendars from other service providers like Calendly, or Apple iCloud don't work, and you have a strong preference for those over others that do work with Zoomforth, you may want to try embedding them as HTML Packages instead, following our guidelines and considerations.
