Sync multiple calendars in one
- Jan 30, 2017
Maybe MS Flow can help. Check https://flow.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/?category=eventsAndCalendar&sort=properties%2Fstatistics%2Finstantiations.
It is hard to sync calendars in both ways, and in outlook there is no trigger 'When event is deleted', but all new meetings you can send automatically to one calendar.
I wonder how one does manage such situations. Best (non technical) practice sharing would be nice.
On the technical side, one might try to do something with Microsoft Flow. Not perfect and quite ugly, but at least half-automated. Since Flow is running per O365 account, you need a flow making a copy of each new appointment, tag it with a keyword, and invite the destination calendar without requesting a reply.
I'm sure someone having a much closer understanding of calendars, flows and such, might be able to create a custom flow that does it without having to create a local copy of each meeting in each calendar. My sledge hammer approach is ugly.. told you.
It's not working for icloud agendas, though. At least I have not seen a flow icloud calendar connector. I do not know much about apple calendars on icloud, but perhaps there is a way with flow webhooks? If yes, that would open up other possibilities too, right?
There are some iOS calendar applets on IFTTT which might work with the Office 365 calendar applets. But again, you have to try. I am far away from using apple stuff ;-)
If someone out there is reading and is going to work on a test or implementation with flow, let me know. I am interested to contribute. Even if I am only able to test...
I am trying to get Exchange room accounts (calendars) to sync into a single calendar in Sharepoint. However, I will settle for being able to subscribe to the room calendars and have them each update into their own block on a single sharepoint page. I am not an administrator for the room calendars where each "roomcalendar@domain.com" would populate on the page. I don't need to be able to submit a request, only display who has scheduled the room. While I can do this in Outlook 360 by overlapping all the calendars, it is very hard to read, and I don't expect my team to replicate my methods, but I do want them to check a master calendar so that they can prepare rooms as they are scheduled. Any ideas?

I'm also trying to sync 2 calendars. We have executive offices that we are installing Polycom Trio's in. You can sign into a Skype for Business account on the device which then lets you join your meetings with One-Touch. However, we would have to constantly update ever device whenever they changed their passwords. Instead, we want to create a 2nd account that is the room. The exec's calendar and the room calendar should sync and be the same. We can kind of get there using Rules but it doesn't work 100%.
The CodeTwo Exchange sync looked great until we found out they only work in an on-prem environment. We use Exchange Online so their product doesnt' work for us. Has anyone else had any luck syncing 2 calendars otherwise?
