Importing from exchange server url .ics file

[Richard Tomson II]

Hello,

I am trying to import a .ics file that is shared by a user on our internal exchange server. This is for an in-house Intranet.
We plan on using Categories and importing one calendar url into each category and then displaying calendars by category on our internal Intranet.

When I use the Preview butting I get

There was an error fetching the results from your import: The URL provided could not be reached.

I can use wget from a unix machine or just put the url into a web browser and the .ics file comes over just fine.
I attached the .ics file from the url.

Please advise.

I just noticed under help that there is “Import Services”
We are using an Intranet so the URL’s are all private. The host ea.theeventscalendar.com will not be able to see the URL. If that is a requirement we can’t use this product.

Let me know.

Hi Richard!

Thanks for reaching out to us! I’d be happy to help with this topic.

Your site is not required to be online, but it needs to be able to have internet access to import from an URL which needs to be reachable by our EA server.

You should be able to import events using the .ics file you shared, but using the ICS File as import option.

Does it help?

Let me know if any follow up questions.

Best,
Victor
