PAM can display your Apple Calendar events alongside your PAM events and tasks, so you can view everything in one shared calendar.


How to connect and enable Apple Calendar in PAM

Follow these steps to turn on the sync between Apple Calendar and PAM:

  1. Open the PAM app.

  2. Tap My PAM in the bottom menu.

  3. Tap Connect.

  4. Select Apple Calendar Sync.

  5. When prompted with "Give PAM full access to your calendar?", tap Allow Full Access.

Once you’ve granted permission, you’ll see a confirmation message letting you know the connection was successful 🎉

Sync timing

Apple Calendar → PAM: Updates are instant.
PAM continuously checks your device’s Apple Calendar, so what you see in PAM matches your Apple Calendar right away.

PAM → Apple Calendar: For now, PAM can’t send events into Apple Calendar due to Apple’s restrictions, your PAM-only events will stay inside PAM unless you manually add them to Apple Calendar.

How to spot Apple events in PAM

  • Events imported from Apple Calendar will have the Apple logo, so you can quickly identify them.

  • Each event will also show:

    • A link back to the original event in Apple Calendar

    • The Apple Calendar owner it belongs to

    • Any attendee email addresses included in the Apple event

    • Link to open any video meetings (if included)


How to disable Apple Calendar

You can turn off the sync between Apple Calendar and PAM anytime:

  1. Open Settings on your iPhone.

  2. Scroll down and tap PAM.

  3. Tap Calendars.

  4. Select None.

Your Apple Calendar events will no longer appear in PAM. You can re-enable them anytime by repeating the steps and selecting Full Access again.

📝 Note: If you have other digital calendars like Google or Outlook enabled, they will continue to sync as usual.


Known limitations

Apple’s restrictions, mean there are a few things to keep in mind:

  • Apple Calendar integration works only on iOS devices, not Android.

  • Apple Calendar events are shown only on the device where integration is enabled. Other members of your PAM account won’t see them unless you share your Apple Calendar directly through Apple.

  • PAM cannot currently push events into Apple Calendar, this connection is view-only.


Troubleshooting

I received the message "Calendar permissions not granted." What should I do?

This usually means your iPhone hasn’t given PAM permission to access your calendar. To fix it:

  1. Open Settings on your iPhone.

  2. Scroll down and tap PAM.

  3. Tap Calendars.

  4. Select Full Access.

This allows PAM to display your Apple Calendar events. Once updated, go back into PAM and reconnect your Apple Calendar.
