Outlook Calendar changes not showing up in Google Calendar

Hello there!

I have Outlook email and Calendar (and I'm not sure what else) through work. I shared my main Outlook Calendar to my personal Google Calendar account by importing the Outlook .ICS URL (found in Outlook.com > Settings > Calendar > Shared Calendars) into GC. All events show up usually, but this past week I haven't seen event changes showing up in GC, even more than 24 hours after the changed event passed. I can't find any way to manually force a sync/update.

What can be done to ensure event changes to my Outlook Calendar show up in my Google Calendar? This is important for me because I have a long-established system of meeting reminders based around my Google Calendar, and whether OC supports that setup or not it would be too much work to redo it all for this 1 calendar.

Thanks in advance,

Grant

    I failed at about step 3 of the other method, this method worked first time, and it looks like a great solution. Hopefully it keeps working for some time.

    I managed it...which means it is a very low bar.

    i first did some of this 'connect more apps' thing at https://github.com/derekantrican/GAS-ICS-Sync/wiki/Setting-up-the-script-manually but I got confused towards the end of that, so I went to:

    https://script.google.com/home/projects/1BOk8MDLbLaHh6SwG1M1tsgNXjkcC-79LE0QoipRuTDxbO3fMVvqoROQD/edit

    and followed the instructions in there. Turns out I did the right thing. Have both URLs open and complete the first one, then flip across to the second to do the 'run' stuff.

    I used the above second URL script (new interface) to connect three different O365 accounts into my GCal with polling updates every one minute (default 15)...excited to report that it seems to be working. It's the little things...

    use the instructions on the above first URL to copy the GAS script into your google account, then there are a few variables you need to change.

    1 - the .ics url of the outlook calendar you want to sync with your google calendar

    2 - a name for the calendar when it 'arrives' in google

    These things start off in red text looking like this   ["icsUrl1", "targetCalendar1"], ["icsUrl2", "targetCalendar2"], ["icsUrl3", "targetCalendar1"]

    The first part is how you want to see the calendar eg Bob's Outlook Calendar

    The second part is the loooong .ics URL from your Outlook shared calendar

    3 - how frequently (in minutes) you want the script to go back and refresh the data from the .ics link. This is on line 34 and the default is 15...I set mine to 1

    I stole the 1,2,3 above from another helpful soul....you know who you are. @Richard1Spencer

    Have a go...what could possibly go wrong

    Thanks for sharing...i also found this tool. I tried to install but it seemed to require a desktop version of Outlook, as it opened a profile on my desktop, whereas I am O365. so whilst it may well work, I pursued the 'internet' version at https://script.google.com/home/projects/1BOk8MDLbLaHh6SwG1M1tsgNXjkcC-79LE0QoipRuTDxbO3fMVvqoROQD/edit

    I used the above script to connect three different O365 accounts into my GCal with polling updates every one minute (default 15)...excited to report that it seems to be working. It's the little things...

    I have the same problem and the suggested script does not work when you have 2FA set up on your Google account.

    This is maddening...
