FAQ
Can I edit the event after creating it?
Yes! Edit any details in your calendar app (time, attendees, notes, etc.).
Do my friends need a SHAMAN account?
Nope! They just receive a regular calendar invite.
Do conditions update automatically?
No—conditions are captured when you create the invite. That's why we include a reminder to check SHAMAN before the session.
What if my calendar isn't listed?
Use the "Download .ics" option. It works with virtually any calendar app.
