Calendar not updated automatically #411

Closed itbrl99 closed 1 year ago

I have added my link to a new calendar in Outlook. The data is then populated first time but then never gets updated after the first initial ad of the calendar URL.

Can you confirm that you're "subscribing" to the calendar and not clicking the link?

For example, if you wanted to add the Stellenbosch calendar, the URL is https://eskomcalendar.co.za/ec?calendar=western-cape-stellenbosch.ics. Then you need to go to this outlook webpage and you want to click the "subscribe from web" option:

And then you want to paste the URL https://eskomcalendar.co.za/ec?calendar=western-cape-stellenbosch.ics into the box.

The issue is that if you just click on an ICS URL, by default your calendar app doesn't subscribe to the calendar, but just copies all the data into your calendar.

Let me know if this works!
