Calendar Sync of Office 365 calendar to Tripit

Hello

I have been using Tripit for years and it has successfully sync'ed with my Outlook Calendar. Today, I was unable to add the updated URL for the tripit calendar feed to my Microsoft 365 Outlook calendar. When I tried to add the URL under "add calendar/from internet" by pasting in the URL, I get an Microsoft error message that something went wrong. This did not happen previously.

Thanks

Craig

    This has been bugging me for a long time, and I don't have a Google calendar to use as a KLUDGE like others have recommended - plus, it just feels wrong. But today I can up with a quick fix that I hope will work going forward.

    I simply downloaded the ics file from the TripIt link, which looks something like this (yes, I've changed the GUID):

    https://www.tripit.com/feed/ical/private/0C6C4AA6-39A500CF87B79E7AEFAF250F75A77E63/tripit.ics Then I opened the ics file from my Downloads folder. I was prompted to answer several questions, but it worked, and the calendar was added.

    Now the question is whether it will sync over time.

    I discovered the fix. It is a setting in the Outlook program*.

    FIX:
    In Outlook (on your PC)
    Select File > Account Settings> Account SettingsSelect the Data Files tab
    Highlight your default Outlook account (ie. yourname @ outlook . com)
    Select Settings>Advanced tab
    Uncheck "Turn on shared calendar improvements"
    Click OK and Close.
    Close and restart Outlook.
    Then add your Tripit calendar and select Yes to the pop up.

    I was able to add my Tripit feed and have confirmed via a few days of testing that it updates properly when I add, delete, or change things in Tripit. So far, so good. I also added a second Tripit feed, and replicated this same fix on another person's computer.

    Hope this helps someone.

    *I am using Outlook for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2403)

    Orange Fox - this works great! I guess Microsoft doesn't have the same definition of "improvements" than we do :-).

    You win the best answer prize, wonder why Microsoft can't provide support like this,

    What a life-saver! It works for me too.

    Need to test it for few days/weeks because I use other shared calendars too (from other professionals in my company) and hope this change won't affect my other shared calendars. Will follow-up.

    As said, this works for now and thanks a lot for sharing this solution.
