Functionality

The GUI has two major functionalities: adding events and deleting rocket launch events.

If this is your first time adding events, Notifly will create a new secondary calendar called "Rocket Launches by Notifly" in your Google Calendar account.

Adding: You can add upcoming rocket launch events for 3 different periods of time:

1. This current month
2. This current month and the following month
3. This current month and two following months

To add, choose your desired period of time in the dropdown on the left side of the GUI and click the "Add Rocket Launches to Google Calendar" button.

Deleting: You have two options when it comes to deleting rocket launch events:

1. Select the month to delete events from
2. Delete the entire Notifly calendar and events

To delete, choose your option from the dropdown on the right side of the GUI and click "Delete Rocket Launches from Google Calendar" button.
