Importing .ics file is not working

Question

Importing .ics file is not working

Vikas D 1

I am trying to import a calendar from my application to outlook calendar and for that, I made an end-point in my web app which is returning an iCal object(I tested it in postman and it is working fine and I am able to get the iCal object). But when I use this end-point I a not able to import my calendar into outlook

For outlook, it shows "Couldn't import calendar, try again later"

And after try again it shows the same thing, I don't know why it is happening

Few Points may be helpful for you:-
.) when I use ngrok.io to generate a link that points to my localhost server and using that link to import calendar then it works completely fine.

.) the domain which I am using is only accessible when I connect to it through VPN.

Hi @Vikas D ,

.) when I use ngrok.io to generate a link that points to my localhost server and using that link to import calendar then it works completely fine.

I noticed that it could work normally in this case, so I guess you could also import a local ics file to your Outlook normally , is it right? If so, I think there should be no abnormalities in your Outlook client function and the issue may be related to your application itself.

In this case, please kindly understand here we mainly focus on general issues on Outlook desktop client, as a suggestion, if your application is a self-developed application, it's recommended to post your issue in relevant development forum or add some relevant developement tag under your post.

Thanks for your udnerstanding and hope your issue would be resolved soon.
