    • Our product teams collect and evaluate feedback from a number of different sources. To learn more about how we use customer feedback in the planning process, check out our new feature policy.

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Cloud. Using Confluence Server? See the corresponding suggestion.

      Currently, when one subscribes Google Calendar in the Team Calendars, any updates on Google Calendar will be synced/pulled to Team Calendar within one hour time. Some users reported that it takes longer than one hour. This sync interval is currently not configurable. It would be great to have this sync interval configurable somewhere.

      Workaround

      Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available

      • The previous workaround for this feature was only applicable to Confluence Server/Data Center.

            [CONFCLOUD-50112] Make Google Calendar to Team Calendars synchronisation frequency or interval to be configurable

            Very poor that we were referred to this card that is nearly a decade old after making a similar request last week.

            In our business we have calendars for product launches, feature releases etc which are managed and stored in Exchange/Outlook. To aid collaboration between teams and refine how our teams work, we now looking to get all business units onto Confluence. A driver for this was the Team Calendars feature which provides a better way to communicate this kind of calendar events.

            Having to wait for an hour or even longer for Confluence to pull in any new entries from integrated calendars and with no option to modify this is very poor.

            I ended up making another workaround,
            Cache Statistics -> Advanced -> Team Calendars - iCal -> Adjust Max Entries = 1

            Works for me.

            Guys, I tried to put the work around in config/ehcache.properties but it doesn't work, any suggestion?

            The ehcache.xml workaround does not work anymore.
            What is the workaround for this in Confluence version 5.3.4?
