Outlook ICS Calendar Integration

If you use both Google Calendar and Outlook, the easiest way that gives you the most power is probably to buy a program to keep a Google Calendar synced with your Outlook calendar. This way you get the benefit of the two-way syncing, as you update google calendar, it should update your Outlook calendar.

Another way we added, and we are offering it out for you to use — as-is and without support — is subscribing to an ICS calendar in Outlook.

Here is how to do it in Outlook 2013 that is already connected to a few Exchange calendars.

  1. First, in Syncro head to your Calendar page.
  2. At the bottom left of the calendar, click the Subscribe to ICS link.
  3. Copy the URL.
  4. Then in Outlook, go to the Calendars.
  5. Click Open Calendar > From Internet...
  6. In the dialog, paste the URL you copied and click OK.*

 

All set! Your entries for 60 days prior and 60 days in the future will show up on the calendar.

*Note: This ICS link only updates every 30 minutes, so if you are testing this, be aware of that.
