Outlook calendar not updating in Google calendar

Hi there!

I use Outlook for work and would like to view my work Outlook calendar on my personal Google calendar. I published my Outlook calendar to my Google calendar using the ICS link as instructed. This worked! However, any new or changed events to my Outlook calendar do not refresh on my Google calendar.

Is there a way for changes to my Outlook calendar to reflect on my Google calendar?

Thanks in advance for your help!

    Can anyone please provide guidance on my earlier post. When I run it, it begin, refers to my update to the line 28 change I made and then ends. But does not appear to by syncing Outlook calendar into Google. Based on others who have made it work, I presume it is something I have done. Can you please spell out exactly how the edited lines should look - eg - do I delete anything if not used? Any guidance ASAP would be much appreciated as I really need to get this sync happening.

    Thanks,

    Here is my edit of the script. I am using one URL (modified for sharing here) for the Outlook calendar where the information is pulled from and a name for the Google calendar which is created on the Google side.

    *========================================= * SETTINGS*========================================= */

    var sourceCalendars = [ // The ics/ical urls that you want to get events from along with their target calendars (list a new row for each mapping of ICS url to Google Calendar) // For instance: ["https://p24-calendars.icloud.com/holidays/us_en.ics", "US Holidays"]// Or with colors following mapping https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/calendar/event-color,// for instance: ["https://p24-calendars.icloud.com/holidays/us_en.ics", "US Holidays", "11"]["https://outlook.office365.com/owa/calendar/******@sample.com/1234567890/calendar.ics", "Name-of-Calendar-in-Google", 11]];

    I removed these two lines:

    ["icsUrl2", "targetCalendar2"], ["icsUrl3", "targetCalendar3"]

    I don't think you can go from Google back to Outlook and I would remove this line:

    ["https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=??mygooglefilename??", "Al from Oz"]

    Why don't you start fresh and only modify the following line with your Outlook ICS URL and a calendar name for Google:

      ["icsUrl1", "targetCalendar1"]

    Remove the next two lines:

    ["icsUrl2", "targetCalendar2"], ["icsUrl3", "targetCalendar3"]

    Make sure the the next line remains intact:

    ];

    Hope this works.

    Hi All!

    Sorry if this is off-base, but I found a half-solution that worked for me. I originally came across an article suggesting using the ICS link to sync w/ Google Calendar, and experienced the same issue of updates in my Outlook calendar not being pushed. Today I came across a different way to sync the calendars. The reason I say half-solution, is that this only works on my Android phone. I don't see the synced calendar on the browser version of Google Calendar.

    1. On web version of Outlook/Calendar click gear icon in top right of screen near profile picture.
    2. Navigate to 'Calendar' beneath General and Mail.
    3. Click on Accounts in the top down list.
    4. Here you can connect your personal accounts to your work account, including Google, Outlook, Hotmail, Live, and MSN. Select Google for Google Calendar.
    5. Select/Sign-In to your Google Account in the pop-up window.
    6. Give Microsoft requested permissions.

    As I said, with this solution my Outlook calendar syncs perfectly with the Google Calendar app on my phone, and I see my outlook email address on the Google account list in the Google Calendar app on my phone. However, none of this is reflected when I view my Google Calendar in a browser.

    I hope this can be a solution for some. If anyone has info on why the sync isn't reflecting in the browser version of Google Calendar, or how to rectify, that would be appreciated.

    I don't feel comfortable installing scripts - any other solution you know of?

    Thank you Eraldo. Onecal.io is a great paid solution and it does exactly what is currently not working. Additionally, I found the Google script and have been running it for several days now. So far so good!

    Did the same, but my Outlook events don't update in Google Calendar, whereas my Google Calendar events are updated in Outlook.

    I did know that calendar's sync was that complicated.
