Introduction
If you're someone who uses both Outlook Calendar and Google Calendar, you may find it inconvenient to have to manually enter events and appointments into both calendars. Luckily, there's a way to forward your Outlook Calendar to Google Calendar, saving you time and effort. In this article, we'll show you how to do just that for the year 2024.Step 1: Export Your Outlook Calendar
The first step in forwarding your Outlook Calendar to Google Calendar is to export your Outlook Calendar. To do this, open Outlook and go to File > Open & Export > Import/Export. From there, select "Export to a file" and then select "Outlook Data File (.pst)". Choose the calendar you want to export, and then select a location and name for the exported file.Step 2: Import Your Outlook Calendar into Google Calendar
Once you've exported your Outlook Calendar, the next step is to import it into Google Calendar. To do this, go to Google Calendar and click on the three dots next to "Add calendar" on the left-hand side. From there, select "Import" and then select the exported file from your computer. Choose which calendar you want to import the events into and then click "Import".Step 3: Set Up Automatic Forwarding
To ensure that your Outlook Calendar automatically forwards to Google Calendar in the future, you'll need to set up automatic forwarding. To do this, go back to Outlook and go to File > Manage Rules & Alerts > New Rule. Select "Apply rule on messages I receive" and then select "with specific words in the subject or body". In the "specific words" box, enter "Calendar:" and then select "forward it to". Enter your Google Calendar email address and then click "Finish".Question and Answer
