如何将周期性事件从 Outlook 发送到 Google 日历

Question

I have some Outlook VBA code which executes when I add an event to my Outlook calendar. The code makes use of the google calendar API to send the event information to google. Google them updates my google calendar. I also have code which, when I delete an event from my Outlook calendar, will send a DELETE to google through the calendar API. Google then deletes the event from my google calendar. This code works perfectly.

Now I need to write the VBA code which will send recurring event data to google. Is there a simple way to send this information? Is there an online service that I can send information to and have an RRule string generated? Do I have to build the RRule string manually?

Thank you.

If you deal with Office365 account you may consider using the Graph API directly without involving client applications like Outlook. For the Exchange on-premise you may consider using Exchange Web Services, see Start using web services in Exchange for more information.

If you need to end up with a client-side solution you may consider creating a VSTO based add-in (COM add-in) which can sync everything with your system. See Walkthrough: Create your first VSTO Add-in for Outlook to get started quickly. VBA was not designed for distributing solutions on multiple machines.
