It directly exports your GW calendar to a mini webserver listening on a high port on your local machine that you can subscribe to from iCal. Drawbacks are that it is set to use West Coast time only and you will need a static IP on the machine that is exporting it. A good Java Programmer friend could easily modify it to your time zone (source code is available). Ideally the author might update his app with more features (encryption and time zones). You also have the problem of it being read only in iCal, but still – at least you can see your GW calendar in iCal!

Accepting invites is great but it’s the appointments created on the iPhone that I want to synchronise back the other way to my department.

Am I missing something here or is it not possible?

I today received an appointment request which posted it correctly. After that I created couple of test appointments and they are working fine. How this has happened I do not know as till yesterday they were not working and I had to go to my iPhone everytime and edit the time (else an afternoon appointment alarm would go off in middle of the night LOL). I have not changed any settings, in fact I have not even accessed anything as I had given up on it after getting no response here or on google cal help forums.

Though another thing that has happened is that google calender is now posting these appointments to my default google calender and not work calender that I had created earlier and where GW delegated appointments were being posted so far. This is an inconvenience that I am willing to live with as long as I get to automatically keep track of all my appointments, work or personal.

To me it seems like there was/is a bug in google cal which is responsible for all of this… ah well…

I have the same problem as you have with Central European Time (CET/GMT +0100): appointments set to 10 a.m. in Groupwise are set to 11 a.m. in GoogleCalender. It seems as if GoogleCalender thinks I’m GMT although it is definetely set to CET (as well as GroupWise and WindowsXP).

Does anybody has an idea how to fix this problem? I guess it might be a bug of GoogleCalender as the delegate email from GroupWise contains the proper .ics-attachment and if I manually import it to iCal everything works fine.

lol

I would have thought in your case though Nish that if your Regional Settings on your PC match the Groupwise / Google settings then it should all be fine?? Unless your IT guys have installed groupwise with a different language setting?

Going back to the auto accept of google appointments, can anyone PLEASE help!!

I am on Australian Eastern daylight time. When I delegate an appointment to my google account the appointment time gets all messed up.

I got an appointment today for 11AM Aus EDT but when it got accepted in google calender it was put at 10 PM!!!!!!! Both my GW & Google Calender are set to Aus EDT but somehow when appointment comes in from GW google seems to be taking it as at GMT and then posts it 11 hours later!!!!!

Is there any way I can get google calender to recognise that GW appointment is coming from same time zone??? I dont want to change time zone on my google calender as then all my personal calender items (which are already syncing fine with my home Outlook, same time zone settings) would get all messed up.

Any help/advice would be highly appreciated.

Cheers

Has anyone any other ideas?? Was going to try what Justin had written down but there is no ‘.’ in my gmail address!!!

Help please!!

It’s too bad that it doesn’t list all recipients, but at least it tells me (barely!) who it’s from in the body. This is nice! Thanks guys!

…But when the rule delegates them, Gmail never receives it in either email or calendar form. I’ve tried this with Hotmail, and it shows up as a pretty little appointment when the rule kicks in and delegates… but Gmail never gets it.

Any suggestions? This is really weird.

@Paul & Mark: Have you guys tried enabling this option in Google Calendar?

Please can someone help us out here… what are we doing wrong!? I’ve followed the instructions to a tee

I’m having a similar problem – I can get GW to export the event to gmail. The mail arrives as an appointment, but it does not get added to the google calender. Also – while looking at the e-mail in gmail I do not see an option to add the appointment to the calender as someone said in an earlier post.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Mark

Never mind, I’ll just send myself a meeting request rather than posting an appointment.

Any ideas of how to apply it retrospectively to existing meetings?

I have created a new calendar called ‘new work’ and have set up a rule in GroupWise 7 to delegate appointments to my gmail address, which it does. However Gmail won’t automatically accept the appointment??

I have changed all the language settings to read the same which is ENGLISH (US) but still no joy.

Please can someone help!!!

Btw. I tried posting an appointment directly on my google calendar and that synced to my iCal. So it doesn’t seem there is a problem with my google calendar and iCal

You can get it in the UK from a company called London Web.

Earlier I stated that my problems to forward my groupwise appointments to Google Agenda had been solved. lately the problem returned. I didn’t want to bother you. Now I found the definite solution:

You should have your Groupwise and Gmail system settings in the same language.

Why? Gmail recognizes appointments automatically by scanning header text. When GW & Gmail are not set to the same language Gmail will not recognize your forwarded appointment. Then, it does not show all the functionality that Chad describes. E.g.: I had many appointments already forwarded. When I turned Gmail from dutch (yes I am) to english language Gmail showed all possibilities with the appointment. My GW server is in english.

I already informed Google (which were very helpfull) about this issue (if you consider it one, actually it’s quite logical behaviour).

Hope it helps… M

Your last suggestion did the trick.

Standard, Google supplies you with a calender linked to your Google account. Sofar I only examined this one.

I quickly created another one, in the same account, and: appointments from Groupwise are actually popping up in this calender! Now I can swiftly go on configuring my iPhone G3 ~ thanks a bunch for thinking with us, Chad.

“When Gmail receives, this, Google automatically adds it the Google Calendar on your account.”<<

Unfortunately, my gmail does not do that… It is just an e-mail and not a calender item. What do I overlook?

I am on GroupWise 7.

In gmail if I open the email, I do get the “Add to Calendar” option on the right hand side…

I forgot to add why I would do this; it then texts me 15, 30 minutes, whatever I designate before a meeting. Very handy!

You state:

I then added the text number from Google to my Address Book and I now have an SMS thread called “Google Calendar”.

How do you do this and what benefit does it provide?
