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 thought/felt the same - but it comes with really quite straightforward instructions... give it a go! Go on!

    I took a second peak from behind the sofa. If I read it correctly, this forces a one-time sync and not a continuous one...is that correct? I'm looking for a permanent fix rather than needing to run scripts each time...all guidance is appreciated.

    The 'always connected' version of the outlook calendar link (.html) doesn't seem to work, so this script takes the 'snapshot' version (.ics) and writes a little script that keeps going back and refreshing the snapshot.

    If you copy the GAS (?) script into your google account, then there are a few of variables you need to change. From memory

    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

    3 - how frequently (in minutes) you want the script to go back and refresh the data from the .ics link.

    It's a workaround using a script, but it works!

    The default is 15 minutes, but I changed it to 1 minute. Because I'm impatient...

    Having the same exact problem - aside from the first sync, no changes in Outlook are being reflected in Google. It had been working for me previously, probably about 8 weeks ago now?
