Tanda roster to your phone calendar

The Tanda app has a Calendar Link for staff. Here is what Tanda's help centre says, and how to bring the shifts into Shift It.

Vendor menus change and employers set them up differently. Steps checked against Staff: Viewing Rosters & Shifts on Mobile on .

What it is

About Tanda (Workforce.com).

  • Tanda's help centre also publishes under the Workforce.com name. The staff articles we read carry the same titles on both sites.
  • Tanda says what staff can see in the Roster tab, such as team rosters, depends on settings your organisation has chosen.

Step 1

Get your roster out of Tanda.

These steps come from the vendor's own help pages, listed under Sources.

Calendar Link in the Tanda mobile app

Stays up to date

  1. In the Tanda mobile app, tap your profile photo, then Settings.

  2. Scroll down to "Calendar Link" and copy the link.

  3. Add the link to your chosen calendar app. Tanda has separate help pages for the Apple Calendar, Outlook Calendar and Google Calendar apps.

  • Tanda says that once the link is added, your roster is automatically added to your calendar app.
  • Tanda's profile and app settings page describes the same step as clicking the Copy button next to the Calendar Link in Settings.
  • We could not read the app-specific pages Tanda links to, so we are not repeating menu names for each calendar app here. Follow Tanda's own pages for those.

Step 2

Bring it into Shift It.

Shift It reads the calendars on your phone, so a roster feed in your calendar app is a roster Shift It can import.

  1. Get the roster into your phone's calendar

    Use the steps above. Shift It reads the calendars on your phone, so your shifts need to show up in your calendar app first.

  2. Start an import and choose your calendar

    In Shift It, pick the option for shifts that are already in your calendar ("My shifts are in my calendar"). Allow calendar access when it asks.

  3. Pick the calendar and the dates

    Choose the calendar your roster is in and set the date range. It starts at today and runs four weeks ahead, so widen it if your roster covers more. You can also filter by a word in the event title.

  4. Review, then accept

    Shift It lists what it found before it saves anything. Remove anything that is not a shift. If the shifts overlap ones already in Shift It, the review screen shows what changed, what is new and what is gone.

Good to know before you import

  • Once the Tanda calendar appears in your phone's calendar app, tick it in Shift It's calendar import.
  • Tanda does not say how often calendar apps refresh the link. If a new shift is missing, give your calendar app time, then import again.
  • Shift It reads your calendar once, when you import. It is not a live sync, so import again when your roster changes.
  • All-day events and events longer than 24 hours are skipped.
  • Each shift takes its start time, end time and title from the calendar event. Location is not carried over.
  • Shift It cannot open .ics files directly. Add the file to your calendar app first, then import from the calendar.

If your employer sends you a spreadsheet instead, Shift It can import that too. See importing from a file.

Common problems

When Tanda and your calendar do not agree.

I cannot find the Calendar Link

Tanda's help centre places it under your profile photo, then Settings, in the mobile app. We found no public page on what to do if it is missing, so ask your manager or Tanda support.

The Roster tab shows only my own shifts

Tanda says whether you can see the full team roster is an organisation setting.

Past shifts are missing from the Tanda app

Tanda says a past rostered shift can be hidden once a timesheet entry exists for that day, unless that entry matches the shift. That is about the app view, so check your calendar and timesheet separately.

Shift It finds no shifts

Check the date range covers the shifts, the Tanda calendar is ticked, and the events are not all-day events. Shift It skips all-day events.

Common questions

Tanda roster questions, answered.

What people search for, with straight answers.

How do I add my Tanda roster to my iPhone calendar?

Tanda's help centre says to tap your profile photo in the app, go to Settings, copy the Calendar Link, and add it to your calendar app. It links to a separate page for the Apple Calendar app.

Does Tanda sync with Google Calendar?

Tanda's help centre lists the Google Calendar app alongside Apple and Outlook as places you can add your Calendar Link. Its own page for Google Calendar has the exact steps.

Is Tanda the same as Workforce.com?

Both names appear on Tanda's help centres (help.tanda.co and help.workforce.com), and the staff articles we read share titles. Check which name your employer's login page uses.

How do I get Tanda shifts into Shift It?

Add your Tanda Calendar Link to your phone's calendar, then use Shift It's calendar import. Shift It reads the calendar once, so import again when your roster changes.
