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

    It won't keep working. You'll need to reset regularly. Although if by some chance that isn't the case it would be great if you can report back on the exact steps you took and settings you selected that allowed it to work.

    The only way that I found to force the sync is by:

    • resetting the link (ICS) on Outlook Web
    • removing the calendar on Google and then
    • creating a new calendar with the resetted link.

    Thanks a lot for your reply, Guilherme! Resetting the link on Outlook Web (and adding a "calendar from URL" with that link in GC) did the trick! Now, let's hope that it keeps working ;-)

    Best, Peter.

    Which is basically a daily import. Why isn't the world going mad at this?

    As some have noted in the thread I have only been using the second two steps in your list:

    1. resetting the link (ICS) on Outlook Web
    2. removing the calendar on Google and then
    3. creating a new calendar with the resetted link.
      Which is frustrating to be clear, but does seem to always work to see them all in GC.

    Hi,

    I am trying to sync my Outlook and Google calendars for the first time and, of course, I have the same issue you have. :)

    After thousands of tests, I couldn't understand why Google Calendar is not showing the new/changed events created/changed on my Outlook calendar.

    I found some comments around that it seems that Microsoft (or Google) does the sync a few times per day... you can wait for 24h and check.

    The only way that I found to force the sync is by:

    • resetting the link (ICS) on Outlook Web
    • removing the calendar on Google and then
    • creating a new calendar with the resetted link.

    Any one else has another suggestion?
