Issue Summary

If someone books in with cal.com, but the event is moved in Google calendar - it does not update in cal.com

This is very very annoying as we utilise webhooks for when the meeting has ended - but the webhook will get sent out at the wrong time as it has not updated in cal.com.

PLEASE fix this!

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Schedule an event in cal.com (with Google calendar sync setup)
  2. Move the event in Google calendar
  3. Check cal.com event details - it has not updated.

Any other relevant information. For example, why do you consider this a bug and what did you expect to happen instead?

There should be a flawless sync between the two.

Actual Results

Nothing updates.

Expected Results

Nothing is updating when moving a Google cal event that was created by cal.com

Technical details

Evidence

  • How was this tested?

Made multiple events, tried moving them but no bueno.

Hey @ASTRAAdvertising - We're working on this; in the mean time please reschedule the calendar events through the Cal.com booking UI.

Hey @emrysal I'd like to contribute to this.

Hey just adding on, very interested in this feature as well
Any workarounds you're using to sync the updates from the third party calendar to cal.com?

Currently no workarounds in place yet I'm afraid.

My workaround for this issue was to create a side system that will sync the calendar, register an event watch on google api and every time I receive a push notification on the watch endpoint run a token sync and manually sync the events based on the token sync result. That would be easy to implement on cal.com. Not sure if it works for other types of calendars though.
