Autodiscovery setting for CalDAV Sync

The server details, port number and other details required to configure the sync will be automatically fetched using the Autodiscovery settings.

Setting up Autodiscovery

To start with the Autodiscovery setup for CalDAV sync in Zoho Calendar, you need to add an SRV record in your DNS manager before configuring the set up in macOS calendar, eM Client or CalDAV Synchronizer.
