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

    Same issue. Really tough to use Calendly to schedule events when the sync between Outlook to Google isn't happening real time. Double booking myself all over the place. Why isn't Microsoft looking into this?

    Same for me, it's working on my phone which is something, but the lack of sync on the web app is a huge problem. Microsoft please fix this!

    EDIT: I'm also testing another theory right now (although the below may still work) - I noticed that my link from Outlook starts with https:// when older ones that appear to work correctly start with webcal:// so I've modified the link and re-added it to my Google calendar and will update again if it works...

    EDIT2: The Google Apps Script works perfectly. webcal:// did nothing. Use the instructions below.

    Based on the previous answers about the actual .ics file apparently updating correctly, I went searching in the Google support forums. I found this post [1] which leads to a GitHub project [2] that supposedly solves the sync issue by walking you through creating a new Google Apps Script that does the sync properly. I haven't tested it out yet but a cursory glance at the code seems like it should work. While this isn't ideal and does require technical skill to implement, I'm crossing my fingers that it solves the issue for me.

    Oh man, I'm not sure I'm technically adept enough to do this fix. Maybe I can get someone to help me. Thanks for posting!
