I have the same issue. DId anyone find a solution?

I have the same issue too… any suggestion anyone?

Any update about this issue?

Any update on this? This appears to be the only way to view multiple AirTable calendars together.

Hi

I’ve checked it again and it works! I did not change anything. Magic.

The automatic updates take about 24 hours so, once a change has been made, you have to wait to check if everything went fine.

Wait, do you mean every time you add a record in Airtable, you need to wait 24 hours for it to show up in your other calendars?

That would be bad news.

I just started using the calendar synchronisation feature, and have the same problem: when I update something on Airtable, I was expecting to see it in my google calendar a few minutes later at most.

Tried both the private link and the iCal subscription link btw, same results: no sync.

Yes. It is not always 24 hours. The problem is that it is Google who updates the calendars and there is no way to control it from Airtable.

If you need more control maybe you can try with Zapier.

Oh I see… But it is weird that Google would not offer more flexibility on synchronization settings though.

Or maybe one needs to look into using a script (I am thinking, using Google APIs to force a sync whenever a calendar is seen or something).

I will investigate further when I have time.

The normal delay for my google calendar to be updated is indeed a few hours, not 24. You are right @Gonzalo_Mateos (thanks for your input).

But even a few hours “only” is not satisfying: I would like to use Airtable + google calendar synchronization in a daily, remote collaborative work context.

I will probably end up using Zapier, but I don’t like the idea of adding a third, unnecessary component to the architecture. It makes the system easy to break, and boy I don’t have time to maintain such basic tools, and it kind of defeats the whole purpose of having an iCal url in Airtable in the first place.

Any update on using this shared iCal to sync with Google calendars. Updating needs to be done within a few mins to make this useful. We run an event business, so waiting 24 hours for calendar events to update is a non-starter for us. I’ve been testing and I actually don’t see updates happening at all unless I ‘refresh’ the Airtable iCal link and re-add to Google calendars. I’ve tried using Zapier/Google Calendar and have it working, but this doesn’t allow us to use multi-date ranges for events.

Any suggestions??

Any updated information on this? We have tried numerous methods for syncing our Airtable calendars to Google Calendar. Nothing works well enough to be super useful. Updates through iCal take 12-24 hours to sync. We run an event space and having this delay renders the calendars pretty useless for our purposes.

I see that the last comment here was from June of 2019, but I just ran into this problem and stumbled across this thread in search of a solution. I’ve actually waited more than 24 hours and the iCal sync is not updating.

I have also just discovered this. Is there another calendar that uses iCal that would update faster?

Mine is for property holiday bookings so there can’t be a delay or there could be a double booking.

I am having the same problem as everyone else, it seems to have been an issue for years?

Is there a fix yet?

Thanks
