Outlook Calender Sync with custom Drupal Event type

Created on 27 March 2024, about 1 year ago

Problem/Motivation

Creating Events in Drupal and propagating them to Outlook is already amazing. But it does not get rid of the eye work of looking in multiple calendars at the same time.

It would be awesome to be able to sync one or more configurable calendars automatically.
A change or creation in outlook would get duplicated in Drupal (preferably on a custom entity!) and vice versa.

The custom entity Event(s) in Drupal would probably have to have an owner which reflects the owner(s) of the calendar which they are synced to.

Steps to reproduce

Proposed resolution

Exchange Events have a unique Id.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/client-developer/exchange-web...
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/444394/is-event-id-i...

By tracking this Id in Drupal (and last sync time) it should be possible to sync changes by changed date/time.

Some changes like deleted events on either side could be popped up to let the user decide.
