      @tbanzato Your URLs look bad. They should look like one of these:

      • url: “https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/YOUR_NAME%40gmail.com/public/basic.ics”
      • url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/YOUR_NAME%40gmail.com/private-SECRET_CODE/basic.ics

        @E3V3A said in Google Calendar events do not show up since calendar update:

        https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/YOUR_NAME%40gmail.com/private-SECRET_CODE/basic.ics

        Thanks a lot for all the help I’ll test it tonight, now I have a question on the private option.
        And sorry if this is a stupid one.
        Where do I get my private-SECRET_CODE?

        Thanks

          I don’t remember, but it’s in the Google calendar settings somewhere, not obvious.

            Hey the public URL you suggested works just fine
            url: “https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/YOUR_NAME%40gmail.com/public/basic.ics”

            This is what I did:

            1. Logged into Google Calendar
            2. Created a new calendar
            3. On the newly created calendar I changed the settings to “Make available to public”
            4. After that I copied the Calendar ID that looks something like this 83j7tsjdivl123edasul1ndas1k@group.calendar.google.com
            5. Changed it into the URL you suggested to look like this https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/**83j7tsjdivl123edasul1ndas1k%40group.calendar.google.com**/public/basic.ics”
            6. Changed it into the module settings

            Thanks a lot for the help @E3V3A

            Now I just need to find the secret private-SECRET_CODE for the private calendar, with this new calendar Google is making sure not to make things easy.

              @tbanzato I can partly help with this. The secret code is available in your calendar settings - available either through the upper right gear icon -> Settings ->click on the calendar you wish to use in the left hand menu -> scroll all the way down … Or click on the three dot icon that comes up when you hover over the calendar name -> Settings -> scroll all the way down.

              Then just copy and paste the “Secret Address in iCal format” into your config file.

              (Note to the future - this is as of 11April18 - gods only know what the Google UI may look like tomorrow !)

              And before you get excited, I did exactly that…and it doesn’t work, or at least not yet (still figuring that part out.)
