Re: Integration with Google Calendar #calendar


 

Hi,

Can the groups.io calendar be automatically synced with the google
calendar or the reverse where the google calendar updates the
groups.io calendar?
You can have events from the Groups.io group's calendar import to a Google calendar. At the bottom of the Groups.io calendar page is a blue "Subscribe to Calendar" button. Click that and copy the URL it gives you. Then in the Google calendar click "Add a friend's calendar" and select "From URL".

However, I'm not entirely sure that isn't a one-time import. That is, I don't know if Google refreshes by reading that URL periodically, or ever. My brief attempts to test this suggests that Google doesn't re-read the .ics file, even when you click on the logo to refresh the calendar.

I don't know if there's a way to have events in the Google calendar update the Groups.io calendar.

Related, maybe:


What are the options to embed the groups.io calendar into a website
for the public to view events ...
You can set the calendar to "Public", even if your group's Messages are private. Which means that you can put a link to it on the website, or with some greater effort maybe use an iFrame to embed it in the other website.

... and allow members of the public to subscribe to the calendar and
only the calendar so they can integrate it with their mobile device
calendars but not have accounts in the group or have any access to
anything else as our group is private.
The .ics file named by the URL (above) can be accessed without logon to Groups.io. That should allow the public to import your group's events.
