# Subscribe to Your Live Strava Activity Calendar Feed

> Export your Strava activities, club events, and GearWear history as a subscribable iCal feed for Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook.

Strautomator generates a live iCal (ICS) feed of your Strava activities, upcoming club events, and GearWear component-change reminders. Paste the generated URL into any calendar app that supports webcal subscriptions — no manual exports or repeated downloads needed.

<Note>
  Your calendar feed refreshes automatically. Once you subscribe, new activities and events appear in your calendar app without any action on your part.
</Note>

## What gets exported

Use the **Calendar** page to choose exactly what appears in your feed.

**Type** — pick one export mode:

| Option            | What it includes                                 |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| Everything        | Activities, club events, and GearWear changes    |
| Only activities   | Your personal Strava activities                  |
| Only club events  | Upcoming events from clubs you've joined         |
| Only gear history | GearWear component-change and maintenance events |

**Sport types** — filter to All sports, Rides only, or Runs only.

**Additional options:**

* **Exclude commutes** — omit activities flagged as commutes on Strava
* **Only events I have joined** — show club events you've RSVPed to, hide the rest
* **Include events outside my country** — broaden club event results internationally
* **Add event links on descriptions** — append a direct Strava link to each calendar event description
* **Compact descriptions** — shorten the detail text for cleaner calendar views

**Date range** — control how far back and forward the feed reaches (applies to activities; club events always look forward).

## Custom templates (PRO)

PRO users can customize how each activity appears in the calendar feed using dynamic tags — the same `${tags}` syntax used in automation actions.

On the **Calendar** page, scroll down to the **Activity template** section:

* **Event summary** — the calendar event title (e.g., `${name} — ${distance}`)
* **Event details** — the event body/description (e.g., `${distance} in ${movingTime} | ${weather}`)

Type `$` to trigger the tag autocomplete menu. After saving, the new template applies on the next calendar refresh.

<Tip>
  Use `${name}` to keep your original Strava activity name in the summary, then add metrics like `${elevationGain}` or `${avgSpeed}` in the details field for a quick workout overview in your calendar.
</Tip>

## Resetting your calendar URL

If you want to invalidate your current feed — for example, if you've shared the URL and want to revoke access — click **Reset URL token** on the Calendar page.

<Warning>
  Resetting your URL token generates a new calendar link. Any calendar apps subscribed to the old URL will stop receiving updates. You'll need to resubscribe with the new URL in each app.
</Warning>
