Event Calendar for Jira allows for a calendar to be exported into the Google Calendar.
The process is very easy and is done by subscribing to a URL.
Tutorial
1. Find a sharing URL
In order to obtain a sharing URL, within your desired calendar, click “three dots icon“, and from the list of options select “Export to Google Calendar“.
2. Turn on URL sharing
Once a popup window appears, click the “Turn on external sharing” option. This option will generate a URL to be used in the Google Calendar.
3. Copy the sharing URL
Once the URL has been generated, you can copy it by:
- double clicking the url field
- then pressing
CMD+C(for Mac) orCTRL+Con Windows – to copy the selected text
4. Import url into Google Calendar
Now open Google Calendar and from the left panel find a “plus” button and click.
Within the newly opened contextual menu, click “From url“.
5. Subscribe to the calendar
On the subscription screen that appears, past the copied URL into the text field. Then confirm the subscription by clicking “Add calendar“.
6. That’s it
Google will start loading the events in the background and after a while the calendar is imported in your Google Calendar.
Troubleshooting
Even though the calendar is automatically refreshed by Google in the background, this process may take up to 24-48 hours.
