Again another 1/2 baked integration relying on another 3rd party utility to make things function. I'm starting to wonder if Atlassian has any intention on developing a fully functional platform with native integrations. I find it a bit perverse that we need to keep "Frankensteining" our environments in order to provide "table stakes" functionality.    

@Atlassian: any updates on this about 1 1/2 years since your last message?

No updates on this topic for about 8 months. @Atlassian: could you please share the status/next steps on this topic with us?

Any Updates on using Caldav to sync Confluence Team Calenders with Outlook?

@Mihamina: I am talking about the possiblity of using Caldav to sync Confluence Team Calenders with  Outlook - and that is a feature Atlassian announced to provide several months ago.

Hi everyone,

i've figured a little workaround how to get it working

Please note the "System messages" outlined in this manual might not 100% accurate because I must translate them.

Currently it works with Apple MacOS, iPhone and iPad. To set it up follow the steps:

1. Go to your confluence page
2. Select apps --> Calendar
3. click on "..." on the left pane from a calendar of your choice (it doesn't matter)
4. select subscribe
5. choose "CalDAV"
6. Copy Url into your clipboard
7. On Apple OS (incl. IOS, iPadOS and macOS) goto Accounts --> Add --> select other --> caldav --> Paste the url into server address
8. Enter your confluence mail address as username
9. Generate a API token password
   1. On confluence page click on your icon in the right top corner
   2. choose settings
   3. click on password in the left pane
   4. click on "Generate a API token"
10. Copy that API token in the password field.
11. Save
12. After some time the iPhone will display a warning "the server cannot be reached through ssl (encrypted) connection. Try unencrypted? => SELECT NO
13. Save
14. A warning will be displayed that this account might not be usable at all --> Ignore it --> Click on save again
15. Go to your calendar app, it should successfully start syncing. (2WAY)

@christian , Why should Atlassian be accountable on CalDav availability for Outlook?

When will CalDAV be avaible for Outlook?

Team Calendars CalDAV is now shipped. Please see https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Team-Calendars-for-Confluence/CalDAV-has-arrived-in-Team-Calendars-Cloud/ba-p/1728327 for more details.

Its almost end of June now. Any news on this?

Its the first week of June now. According to the note in the Description field CALdav support should be available since 2 days. Whats the status?

We know it's been a long time coming and we're excited to provide an update that CalDAV support will ship to Team Calendars cloud at the end of May. 

Thanks so much for your patience and we look forward to more feedback once you get a chance to use the feature!

As a note, Team Calendars is now included in all Confluence Cloud Premium licenses. More info here.

At the very least date range filters of the .ics download would be very nice also...

@Cody David. Same for me. Only standard-event-types get synched. Every custom-event-type is gone. Amazing smh, now we have nothing anymore. Just a confluence calendar which isnt even mobile rdy nor responsive. But at least we pay every month thats all that counts.

I am having issues with Confluence Calendar subscription only displaying events for one event type (on my Outlook, iPhone, and Google Calendar).  All event types show up on the calendar on the confluence page... just not on devices subscribed to the calendar.  Any perspectives on why this is occurring? 

All event types used to show up on the calendar subscription (only a few months ago), but not so in recent weeks. 

should I migrate to server version? to fixing this issue?

Any updates on this? One reason for using the Cloud version is the "always stay up to date" concept. Now this issue has been resolved for the Server version but not for the Cloud version. Why?

It's still not fully working for me. I can create events in Thunderbird and they are transfered to the team calendar but they are always the same event type. I can't change the type to leave or whatever in Thunderbird. I always have to change the type in confluence itself

It is cool that CALDAV support is available for Server-Version but what about Cloud Users having MAC-Devices? I'm quite sure that these audience would love to use Team Calendars with their Mac`s. Is there a roadmap, plan, poll, vote? Thank you

I prefer using standards, so I really wish that Confluence supports CalDAV to its full extend. Its nice to support Google* and Outlook/Exchange, but these are proprietary products. For the real team spirit that Confluece is eager to realise it's already nice that its easy to integrate CalDAV calendars into Confluence calendars. BUT I want for use my CalDAV client on Android to also sync easily with team calendars as their use only makes sense to me if they intergrate well into my mobile software.

Would be awesome (in general). We can't wait to see it included in mid 2018 - is that information correct? "Just" subscribing to the calendar would be great, updating would of course be: paradise. Just filled out the survey.

Awesome news!  When you finish building it you should make sure you get added to the list of CalDAV software at

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CalDAV

A crude workaround that I've used successfully, based on Outlook/Exchange (my company's primary calendaring platform) and Google Calendar (as a sort of "pass-through" intermediary) is to set up a sync, using 'CompanionLink Sync for Outlook', between the primary-source-of-truth Outlook calendar and a Google Apps calendar; then I can display the google apps calendar using iframe and the google cal share/embed code (which you can get from google apps settings), in a Confluence page. Won't resolve many use cases but it does work well enough for this one.

@raffi what is your use case? I just need to be able to edit the calendar from both confluence and Google Calendar. For me for workaround would fulfill the needs

@elijas I would say this is not that easy. CalDAV is a protocol, and its spec must be followed to make it compatible with existing clients.

I think about building a workaround/addon for 2way sync feature.

A possible solution is merging ics subscriptions of the calendars. Another one is having two calendars om both ends (one for write, another for read). Then updating the read calendars from the write ones.

Do you think this proposal has potential or not?

This is an elementary feature! If there won't be an update after trial time, I won't buy a licence!

Any Update?

Hi CalDAV support

I have new requirement regarding to the number of invitation votes. Can we enhance with the features of voting counts. Example, I have training room 1 which limited to 5 seats. I invited a team more than 15 members. The first five will be able to accept automatically showed the calendar schedule on their personal outlook or team calendars those did not participate or late will be automatically declined or closed notifications.

Is that possible? thank you in advance.

Is Team Calendar Plugin still under development?

Unfortunately I must join the rest of the community and share my critic on how this issue (basic feature from my point of view) is being handle. Please update with this feature! 

I am in the process of testing this product for my department Share Site to replace an outdated version. but with out being able to show our team exchange calendar with in the Confluence server there is no point to using that plugin and paying for it. 

@Atlassian: Still no official update after more than three years and 580 votes? It seems you're not so committed to one of your core values as you claim.

At least I'd like to see more timely updates of the changes in the Atlassian calendar in my Google Calendar. Did anyone managed to do increase the frequency of subscription to Confluence Calendars?

(I tried several solutions/scripts, to no avail.

https://github.com/bigpresh/ical-to-google-calendar

https://github.com/yvangodard/icalsync )

The plugin Calendar is not usefull if we can edit/write on it from our app !

Please add caldav !

A plug-in you charge handsomely for, 4 years of requests to add caldav r/w support, and still nothing. This is why I am always needing to defend Atlassian in my organization.

566 votes, 61 duplicates and still no official statement for years?

Yes, this is insane. 3 Years without any work or information on this.

Why have calendars at all, when you cant sync them? Two-way sync is necessary and should be a standard feature. Is it that complicated to implement CalDav? 

I can't believe this request was created over 5 years ago and we still do not have this functionality.  

You created a survey 3 years ago and I wouldn't be surprised if you've had an overwhelming amount of people who have filled out this survey requesting this feature.  Please focus on this request as the demand is high and would benefit everyone who utilizes the Team Calendar.

We're finding that calendars are very limited without this feature as well. One way sync still leads to a lot of duplication (having to enter calendar data into multiple places). Two way sync would drastically increase the productivity this plugin provides.

The importance of CalDAV support in Confluence should be self-evident. Not being able to two-way sync calendars is a major obstacle and UX flaw.
When can we expect CalDAV support?

Yes please.

This could leverage the external database used to synchronize these calendars. Essentially, the calendar in outlook and confluence would do their read/writes via that database. Every Confluence system already leverages an external database (for production) I would recommend utilizing that as an avenue to sync calendars, then not only can you sync with outlook, but then it is just a matter of utilizing an API to sync with any calendar.

Anyway, just thinking out loud.

NOT having two-way integration with Exchange/Outlook has been a drag on my team's uptake and use of Team Calendars. There was a lot of excitement about it when we first installed it, but so much of our scheduling is already done in Outlook that to have to duplicate any of it in Confluence is effectively a non-starter for people.

+1

As we are using Atlassian Team Calendar for noting the availability of team members we are effectively forced to make double entries in Outlook/Exchange. Apart from being able to display MS Exchange calendars we would also like to be able to filter and classify on the status of the event.

Specifically we need to display only events with the status "Out of Office" as Travel in Team Calendar.

This would be a very handy feature for our company as well.

Like Phillip I stumbled upon this ticket while looking for such functionality for Confluence (and 2-way). Would love to see it. If that same Calendar could then be used by both Confluence and JIRA, it would be jawsome (jaw-droppingly-awesome)!

+1 for sure!

Just in case it's helpful, there are workarounds to enable a simple one-way sync (Outlook to TeamCal or TeamCal to Outlook). Check out https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/53142/answers/39246943 if this is something you can use while waiting for the CalDAV feature.

Won't be renewing without this feature. SharePoint does this integration very well, but IT moved away from it. For now we are making do with a shared Outlook calendar.

Team,
Major collaboration happens on Outlook calendars.What is use of having a calendar that just is standalone. Also have a lot of issues on how it fits on the page with a bare minimum options on the gadget.
we really need this feature if you guys are looking into this !

Thank you

+1 because we really really need this feature asap!

Stumbled over this ticket while researching the capabilities of Team Calendars for Confluence. I can't believe this isn't implemented yet.
