Send Jira dates to Google or Outlook

Put a calendar's Jira issues into the calendar you use every day, on your phone too. When an issue is created, changed or deleted in Jira, the calendar updates within a minute.

Start sending

Point at a calendar under My calendars and choose ⋯.
Choose Send to Google or Send to Outlook.
If you have more than one account, pick the Account. Check the Time zone.
Choose Start sending.

The Send to Google dialog: Time zone, an explanation that a calendar called Jira · Solida Calendar is created, Share it with others (optional), Cancel and Start sending

We create a new calendar called Jira · your calendar's name in that account. Your other calendars are not touched. If Outlook already has a calendar with that name, we add a number, for example "(2)".

If no account is connected yet, the dialog offers Connect Google or Connect Outlook first.

Google: open Share it with others (optional) and add email addresses under Share with (email). Press Enter or a comma after each one (up to 50).
Outlook: share the calendar from Outlook itself. The dialog links to Microsoft's How to share in Outlook.

The Send to Outlook dialog with Time zone, an explanation, and a Sharing note: open Outlook and choose Share on this calendar

What gets sent

Every issue of the Jira calendar whose start or end is in the last 30 days or later.
Each event's title is the issue key and summary, for example [WEB-14] Publish release notes. Its description links back to the issue.
Issues with date fields (no time) become all-day events.
Events are shown as free time and have no reminder of their own. Set notifications in Google Calendar or Outlook if you want alerts.
Edits made to these events in Google or Outlook are overwritten from Jira. Change the issue in Jira instead.

Each Jira calendar can be sent to one place, Google or Outlook. To send the same issues to both, add a second calendar with the same project or JQL.

Check and change sending

Choose ⋯ on the calendar, then Manage Google Calendar (or Manage Outlook Calendar).

The Manage Google Calendar dialog: status Sent to Google · 1 min ago, Time zone, Account, Shared with (email), and Close, Resync now and Save buttons

The coloured box shows the status: sending, sent, or stopped with the reason.
Change the Time zone, the account, or who it's shared with, and choose Save.
Resync now sends all issues again. Use it if something looks out of date.

The calendar's icon in the side panel shows the same status. Point at it to read it, for example Sent to Google · 1 min ago.
