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

Just did this and it worked for me! Thanks, this thread is a gem :)
I did need to be careful with my code alterations, and be a little patient. Have seen a new event from outlook get automatically added to my gcal already.
I tried this, but it comes back to the previous not updated state.
John - looks about right, what you have done. The only change that I did in the script was to alter the 15min interval to 1min so that the script runs and goes to get the latest updates in the Outlook calendar every minute instead of every 15.
Interestingly, some people report that 1min doesn't work for them (it does for me) and others suggest 2FA on the google account causes problems....yet others with 2FA report no issues.
Overall - for me, this is a decent solution to a massively inconvenient problem.
"Massively inconvenient" is a massive understatement. When you discover only little-by-little over the course of a month or two that you are increasingly double-booking yourself you start to question your mental capacity. At first I attributed it to age-related decline until I realized there was a real problem with the system. :-D
I was logged in to my Google account and I did follow those instructions to add/run the script. It's possible I added a space/comma/quote mark where I shouldn't have (or something similar). I was mostly trying to assess if I wasn't being patient enough, but it looks like other folks have had the new calendar generate almost immediately. I'll have to try fixing the script later when I'm not in the middle of a busy workday. Thank you for the advice.
