We have a really talented team who is working hard to look for new features and add it to our application as fast as they can, but the most important thing is that we improve our application continuously by listening to the needs of our valued customers and we have done it pretty well.

The iCal feature helps you to import your yearly events and/or holidays into Humanity with ease. Yes, now you can easily import your Google, iOS and many other calendars into Humanity.

This will be helpful for managers and or admins to have ability to see events, holidays related to your business all in one place; therefore; it will be easy to manage certain scheduling activities for your business as you can have a better view of annual holidays and events.
