One-way synchronization from Exchange server to a Google Calendar

calendar-sync

One-way synchronization of calendar events from Exchange server to Google Calendar

What will synchronize?

• Events within the configured timeframe relative to today
• Event subject, location, date/time and attendees with valid email addresses
• The event body/description will not be synced! The description field in Google Calendar is instead used to store a hash.

How to set up?

1. Create a new Google Calendar and take note of its Calendar ID ([email protected]), which can be found in the calendar settings under Calendar Address
2. Pull the code from this GitHub repository
3. Edit the calendar_sync.ini configuration file and follow the hints given within the file
4. Visit the Google API Console and ...
   1. Create a new project
   2. Under Library, enable the Google Calendar API
   3. Under Credentials, create a new OAuth client ID for application type Other and download it as a JSON file
   4. Rename the downloaded JSON file to google_api_client_secret.json and place it into the credentials folder (replace the pre-existing dummy file)
5. Install Python 3 and make sure pip is available
6. Install dependencies
   • Run pip install git+https://github.com/linkedin/pyexchange
   • Run pip install --upgrade oauth2client google-api-python-client
7. Run the calendar_sync.bat by double-clicking on it (Windows) or run python ./calendar_sync.py in the command line. On first run a browser window will be opened and you're asked for authorization to manage your Google Calendar.
