On the lock screen, on the watch
The visit, where you already look.
A Tuesday at 14:00 visit appears on your lock-screen widget the night before, on the watch face all morning, and as a HomePod reminder when you wake up. No new app, no separate calendar to check. Native Apple, all the way down.
- Lock-screen and Home Screen widgets show the day's visits.
- Watch complications surface the next visit at a glance.
- HomePod morning reminders read out who's visiting.
- Siri answers ad-hoc questions about the schedule.
How to set it up
The high level. Full walkthrough in the help guide.
- 01Step 1 of 4
Create a dedicated iCloud calendar.
On a Mac or iPhone: open Calendar, File → New Calendar → iCloud. Name it 'Mum visits' or per-visitor.
- 02Step 2 of 4
Share with the family.
Right-click the calendar → Share Calendar. Invite the family members' iCloud emails. They accept on their device, the calendar appears on their devices.
- 03Step 3 of 4
Set up the relay.
Zapier route: 'Apple iCloud Calendar' as the action app, map fields. CalDAV route: a small worker that POSTs to iCloud's CalDAV endpoint with the visit details.
- 04Step 4 of 4
Create the Getwello webhook subscription.
Settings → Developer API → Webhooks. URL is your relay. Tick visit.created. Test by scheduling a sample visit on Getwello; watch it appear in Calendar within a few seconds.
Frequently asked questions
Does Apple Calendar accept webhooks?
Not directly. The pattern is to push events via CalDAV (the open standard iCloud uses), via the Apple EventKit API on a Mac, or via Zapier's iCloud Calendar action. CalDAV is the most direct, EventKit is Mac-only, Zapier is easiest.
Will visits sync to Apple Watch?
Yes. Apple Calendar pushes through to the watch automatically. Glance at the wrist, the day's visits are there.
Can the family share the calendar?
Yes. iCloud Family Sharing supports calendar sharing across accounts. Create a dedicated 'Mum visits' calendar in iCloud, share it with the family, everyone sees the same events.
What about colour-coding?
Apple Calendar supports per-calendar colour, but not per-event in iCloud. Easiest is to have one calendar per visitor (James calendar, Chloe calendar) and colour each. A bit more setup but visually clearer.
Will edits in Apple Calendar feed back to Getwello?
No, the sync is one-way. Edits in iCloud stay in iCloud. Edits in Getwello propagate to Apple Calendar. Two-way is on the roadmap.
