Add an iCloud calendar to Spark

The built-in calendar in Spark can work with your iCloud calendar available at icloud.com/calendar. Please visit this page and sign in with your Apple ID to see your current iCloud calendar.

You need an iCloud email address in order to add your iCloud calendar to Spark.

There are two different instructions depending on the email address tied to your Apple ID. Please choose your case below and follow the steps to add your iCloud calendar to Spark:

• Your Apple ID is linked to iCloud email
• Your Apple ID is linked to Gmail, Outlook, or other emails

If you set up your Apple ID using an email address with the @icloud.com, @me.com or @mac.com domain name, add your account to Spark, and your calendar will be synced automatically.

If you haven’t added your iCloud account to Spark yet, please follow these steps:

1. Click Spark at the top left of your screen.
2. Select Settings > Add Account.
3. Choose iCloud.
4. Enter your email address which ends with either @icloud.com, @me.com or @mac.com.
5. Now, you need to enter an app-specific password (not your standard password). Using an app-specific password instead of your standard iCloud password is an Apple security requirement. Click Generate an app-specific password.
6. You will be directed to the Apple ID webpage. Sign in as usual.
7. In the Security section, click Generate Password.
8. Enter the password label, e.g. “Spark” and click Create.
9. Copy this password.
10. Return to Spark, paste the password you generated in the password field and click Add.

Now, the events from your iCloud calendar should display in Spark’s built-in calendar. If Spark doesn’t show your calendars, please do the following:

1. Click Spark at the top left of your screen.
2. Open Settings > Accounts.
3. Select your iCloud account.
4. Tick Enable calendars for this account.

You may have created your Apple ID using an email address from Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, or other providers. In this case, you need to create an @icloud.com email address and add it to Spark. This is the only way to display your iCloud calendar in Spark.

Don’t worry, your Apple ID will still be associated with your primary email (e.g., example@gmail.com).

First, create an @icloud.com email address:

1. On your Mac, open System Settings > iCloud.
2. Tick Mail.
3. Follow the onscreen instructions to create your @icloud.com email.

Now, when you sign in on the iCloud Mail webpage > Settings, you should see your new email address in the Account > Primary Address section.

Next, add your new @icloud.com email address to Spark:

1. Click Spark at the top left of your screen.
2. Select Settings > Add Account.
3. Choose iCloud.
4. Enter your @icloud.com email address and an app-specific password. Using an app-specific password is an Apple security requirement. Click Generate an app-specific password.
5. You will be directed to the Apple ID webpage. Sign in as usual.
6. In the Security section, click Generate Password.
7. Enter the password label, e.g. “Spark” and click Create.
8. Copy this password.
9. Return to Spark, paste the password you generated in the password field and click Add.

Now, the events from your iCloud calendar should display in Spark’s built-in calendar. If Spark doesn’t show your calendars, please do the following:

1. Click Spark at the top left of your screen.
2. Open Settings > Accounts.
3. Select your iCloud account.
