The two way sync is not working for google calendar (browser) and team calendars

[Areej Ahmed]

I've created a confluence team calendar and when you subscribe to the calendar on google cal (browser), the two way sync does not work. If any dates are updated on the confluence calendar, this does not reflect on GCal. Google calendar is meant to support both iCal and CalDAV so I'm wondering if there is a workaround for this?

Hi @Areej Ahmed ,

When it comes to sync between these two products/platforms, refresh times can vary from 3 to 24 hours. This is a known 'limitation' and there's a feature suggestion for the improvement: CONFCLOUD-76144: Customize Team Calendar to Google Calendar Subscription sync time 

As far as I know, there's no workaround for it at the moment.

Cheers,
Tobi

Hi @Areej Ahmed ,
Welcome to the Community !

Have you downloaded the cal file OR you've actually used the subscribe link?
Checkout https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/subscribe-to-google-calendars-from-confluence/

Ref. 

Team Calendar reads Google's calendars and caches them for an hour by default. Currently, there's no way to configure the synchronization frequency or interval via the UI. The feature request is tracked here: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-50112.

Subscriptions are read-only (you can't modify events from Team Calendars).

Thanks Piyush!
