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

    Well if you want two-way sync you need to add the Google Calendar to Outlook. Follow the instructions here:

    Add Google Calendar to Outlook

    As to your 2nd question the web interface and the desktop version are always in sync--that happens immediately for me. The only reason you need to use the web interface is to get the ICS link. Everything else you can do on the desktop version.

    Thanks yes, I am now attempting the script.

    Some things I am after.

    1. two way sync. ie, able to edit an entry made in Outlook OR Google in the alternative calendar.
    2. I wish to use Outlook on the desktop version, not the web interface.

    I would also add that when I created the Outlook calendar link using the Google calendar interface it did NOT show up on my iPhone's Calendar App (and I assume would not show up on iPad or Mac). However, when I created the link using the Script it does show up. I assume that's because it shows up under "My Calendars" when using the Script but shows up in "Other calendars" if added through the Google Calendar interface. I am not sure if the is a way to get "Other calendars" to show up on iPhone or not but this is a bonus of using the Script for iPhone/iPad/Mac users.

    Did you try the solution I provided in the post above yours? It seems to have worked for many on this thread including me. And to be clear it's not "my" solution it's a summary of how to apply the solution that was stated in earlier posts.

    If you don't know how to get the ICS link, follow the instructions below

    Not so.

    I have much help from MS, but they too cannot resolve the issue.

    I have struggled to get in touch with Google, but did manage after subscribing to

    google one. No resolution as yet, but they did PROMISE to get back to me.
