Syncing your CPO calendar with your Google calendar

Did you know ... you can sync your CreativePro Office calendar to any calendar application that can read an iCalendar feed.  As an example, I'll show you how to sync your CPO calendar to your Google calendar.

First, go to your calendar page inside of CreativePro Office. In the right-hand column, look for the Export Options header and click the iCal link. You should see a popup like the one below containing your iCalendar feed URL.

Copy the link shown in the popup window.  Now login to your Google calendar account.  In the left-hand column, look for the Other Calendars header and click the Add link at the bottom.

Next, click the Add by URL link. This will allow you to enter the iCal feed URL you copied from your CPO calendar. A dialog window like the one below will pop up.

Once you've pasted the feed URL into the box provided and clicked the Add Calendar button, Google will parse your iCal feed and display your CPO events in the calendar.

NOTE: Google will often take several minutes to parse the iCal feed and display the events. Also, Google waits about 6 hours before attempting to read the iCal feed again. So if you post an event in CPO, don't be surprised if it takes quite awhile to appear in your Google calendar.

Thanks for reading.
