Show Your Zyntro Calendar in Google or Outlook
A private subscription link, added once, mirrors your Zyntro calendar alongside your own.
Before You Begin
- A Zyntro calendar with something in it
- Permission to change that calendar's settings, since the link is created there
If your day runs out of Google or Outlook, you want Zyntro bookings to show up there without having to look in two places.
Zyntro can publish a calendar at a private link. Both Google and Outlook can follow such a link and show it beside your own calendars, keeping it current on their own schedule.
The copy they show is read-only. Changes made there do not come back to Zyntro — for that you want device sync instead.
Steps
Create the subscription link
Open the calendar's Settings from beside it under All Calendars, and find Subscribe from Google Calendar or Outlook.
Click Create subscription link. A link appears, with a button to copy it.
Feeds are off until you do this, so a calendar you have never set up has no link to leak.
Add it in Google Calendar
In Google Calendar on a computer, find the option to add a calendar from URL, paste the link and add it.
Google does not fetch straight away. The calendar appears in your list immediately, but it can be hours before the events show up, and the first sync is usually the slowest.
Or add it in Outlook
In Outlook, choose to add a calendar and pick the option to subscribe from the web, paste the link, give it a name and save.
As with Google, Outlook polls on its own schedule. Expect a wait before everything appears.
Wait, rather than retrying
Neither provider gives you a way to force a refresh, and adding the same link twice does not help.
If you want to check the link itself is good before you wait, open it in a browser: you should be offered a calendar file to download. If you get nothing or an error page, the link is wrong — go back to the settings screen and copy it again.
Replace or turn off the link if you need to
Two controls sit beside the link:
- Replace link issues a new one. Anything already following the old link stops updating, silently — their calendar simply stops changing. Use it if the link has gone somewhere it should not.
- Turn off removes the link entirely and ends every subscription to that calendar.
Both take effect immediately. Neither removes the copy already sitting in someone's calendar app; it just stops being updated, so they will also need to delete it.
Result
Your Zyntro calendar now appears in Google or Outlook beside your own, and updates itself as bookings come and go.
It is a mirror. New bookings appear there; changes you make there do not come back. And it has not told Zyntro anything about your Google or Outlook commitments — that is the separate inbound connection, and it is the one that protects your availability.
Common questions
Usually hours. Both providers poll on their own schedule and the first fetch after adding a link is typically the slowest. There is no way to force it.
No. The mirrored calendar is read-only. Edit it in Zyntro, or set up device sync, which is two-way.
No — this direction only shows Zyntro events in Google. To protect your availability you need the inbound connection as well.
You can, but remember it grants full read access to that calendar with no sign-in. For a colleague who needs ongoing visibility, consider whether they should be a member of the calendar instead.
A practical window either side of today, so the mirror stays a reasonable size. Recurring commitments are sent as a repeating pattern, so they keep appearing into the future.
The copy already in the calendar app stays until it is deleted — it simply stops updating. Remove it there and add the new link.
