can i email an event to a confluence calendar?

Question

I have a team event calendar in confluence to show when team members are off on vacation, at a drs. appt., etc. The problem is that any such event that I add to my personal Outlook calendar, I have to duplicate on my team event calendar. Or, if I add an event to the confluence team calendar, I have to duplicate it on my personal Outlook calendar.

Has anyone had this same dilemma? If so has anyone solved it?

Thank you, Shannon. I'll vote on the feature request.

I appreciate the links to the team calendar posts, but we are specifically looking to cherry pick events from individual calendars that we'd like to include on our Confluence calendar. Not everyone uses Outlook, so even creating a team calendar in outlook would not work. Thank you, though.

Hi Lisa,

There's no way right now to create an event by sending an email to Team Calendar, but there's an open feature request:

* CONFSERVER-49160

We also have a request open for CalDAV support:

* CONFSERVER-51340

Please vote on the above features if you are interested, and comment with your feedback on them as it will help us.

Now, for your issue, you can work around this by subscribing to Team Calendars in Outlook, or try John's workaround in this past Community post.

Can you have a look at those and let us know if you have any questions?

Regards,

Shannon
