Aggregator not importing Google calendar url

[triciabateman]

I’m trying to import my google calendar by using the public url and getting only errors.

I went to my calendar’s settings tab and copied the url. Then I went to Events > Import > google calendar > scheduled import and pasted the url. Every time I get the following message.

“There was an error fetching the results from your import: Events could not be imported. The URL provided did not have events in the proper format.”

How can I sync this calendar?

Hi, Tricia. I looked into your Event Aggregator (EA) usage, and saw you tried to import a URL with “embed” in it, which isn’t correct: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=compassknox.com_jm0bchgcc5m1kghqr8niiou6as%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America%2FNew_York — because that’s for display. And this is the one from your screenshots.

Then you tried importing the iCalendar URL, which is correct: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/compassknox.com_jm0bchgcc5m1kghqr8niiou6as%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics

So did this correctly-formatted URL import correctly for you?

P.S. I saw you imported it as iCalendar, but you should import that iCalendar URL as Google Calendar drop-down option. (Although either way should work.)

Looking forward to hearing back from you.
