    Thanks for the help

    Unfortunately it may not be possible. I am not familiar with Groups.io, but I know that Google Calendar and Office 365, for example, do not include the colors or categories in their ICS feeds. It may be the same case here. Is it possible to get your actual ICS feed URL? That will allow me to determine whether or not Groups.io includes that data in the feed.

    Thanks for the quick reply. Here is the ics file to our groups.io calendar:

    Thanks. I had a look at the raw feed code and there’s no category data in there, so unfortunately it’s not going to be possible to directly carry over the color coding. That said, there are some ways in ICS Calendar to color-code events with a bit of custom PHP code using hooks, as long as there’s a consistent text string in the title (summary) or description of the event. It does require some basic PHP knowledge, although I may be able to help provide the code you need. Here’s the documentation of the feature, with a basic code example:
