In outlook.com I subscribed to my TripIt calendar feed. In outlook.com I went to Import > Subscribe, and entered the ical feed URL that I got from TripIt. The URL looks like this (redacted for privacy reasons): https://www.tripit.com/feed/ical/private/<<long id here>>/tripit.ics. The initial import worked perfectly and all the events from TripIt show as expected in my outlook.com calendar.
However, outlook.com has not tried to refresh the feed for two days now, and, consequently, changes are not shown in outlook.com. Now, other software in which I imported the exact same feed, e.g. the OS X calendar app and my Google calendar, do see the updates just fine. Only outlook.com does not refresh the feed, at least not in over 48 hours now.
Scheduling and managing events using Outlook.com calendar

Hi MS Team,
i also am interested in an update to this? I like the Outlook.com presentation, but if i can't get an auto refresh with my own privately published calendar, I guess I will have to go with google....
thanks!
Same problem here with TripIt ICS feed... I don't want to use Google Calendar but it seems I'm forced to. :(
Okay, interesting one. I subscribed to the same .ICS calendar with a completely different outlook.com account and guess what? The Last Refreshed date/time shows the same as the first outlook.com, plus the changes to the calendar that have happened since the first subscription are not reflected, even though they are changed in the .ICS file.
My conclusion is that outlook.com must centralise the subscription if one account subscribes to a calendar, therefore re-subscribing to the calendar will not work!
MSTeam, please please please escalate this issue urgently - or at least find out when the services will be re-started.
Many thanks
John
Hi Erikdoe,
Thank you for your feedback. We currently don't have any option to fix this (and currently aware of this behavior).
As for now, the workaround is to re-subscribe to the calendar in question to refresh the poll (24-48hrs). If the expected event didn't appear, please re-subscribe.
Please accept my deepest apology for making disappointed. Moving forward, I'll follow up this issue to our Engineers and see if they can improve/fix this in the new update.
In addition, I suggest that you send a feedback here.
Thank you,
Ron
Hi,
removing and re-adding the calendar did not change anything. I removed the subscription. Then I added a new subscription with my TripIt feed URL. The calendar showed the same events as before, and it even showed the "last refreshed" timestamp from the previous subscription, even though I had deleted that subscription!
In the meantime, the calendar did update once, about 80 hours after the time I first added a subscription based on my TripIt feed URL. I has not updated since. So, the issue doesn't seem to be that outlook.com does not pull updates from the external feed, but that it only does that very infrequently.
Is this expected? What update frequency should I expect for external feeds? How often does outlook.com refresh subscribed calendars? Like I said, the feed itself works fine and other software like the OS X calendar application and the Google calendar see the update minutes after a change is made. With outlook.com it seems I have to wait for days. This seems odd.
