Ask HN: Anyone integrating enterprise Outlook and Google Calendar?

2 points by p0d 3y ago ↗ HN

I work in education part-time and am also a one man saas company. The education side uses enterprise Outlook with lots of restrictions on syncing etc. For my own work I use Google Calendar.

Has anyone solved the calendaring issue of combining Microsoft enterprise and Google calendars?

I am doing some naff workaround at the moment using Microsoft Flow to add events form Outlook to Google calendar. Not ideal at all.

Curious, what outcome are you trying to achieve by syncing them?

I believe Google Calendar and Exchange/Outlook can both produce and consume iCalendar files. Often close enough to standards that they're usable. :p

Typically, you'd get a live export url from one and subscribe in the other. Bearing in mind synchronization period is most likely out of your control.
