how to get this running? outlook not working

[cremigerhonig]

Hi there,

I have several questions because I'm having trouble getting it to work with Outlook. It seems to function with Google, but it's very slow, and I'm unsure how to make it run automatically even when my PC is off.

1. How can I set this up to run every minute, even if my PC is off? Do I need to deploy it, and if so, how?
   

2. Could you please check the code and let me know if there are any issues? It’s not working with Outlook, and the ICS link I used is published with all rights.

var sourceCalendars = [                // The ics/ical urls that you want to get events from along with their target calendars (list a new row for each mapping of ICS url to Google Calendar)
                                       // For instance: ["https://p24-calendars.icloud.com/holidays/us_en.ics", "US Holidays"]
                                       // Or with colors following mapping https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/calendar/event-color,
                                       // for instance: ["https://p24-calendars.icloud.com/holidays/us_en.ics", "US Holidays", "11"]

var howFrequent = 5;                     // What interval (minutes) to run this script on to check for new events.  Any integer can be used, but will be rounded up to 5, 10, 15, 30 or to the nearest hour after that.. 60, 120, etc. 1440 (24 hours) is the maximum value.  Anything above that will be replaced with 1440.

var overrideVisibility = "";              // Changes the visibility of the event ("default", "public", "private", "confidential"). Anything else will revert to the class value of the ICAL event.
var addTasks = false;

var emailSummary = false;                 // Will email you when an event is added/modified/removed to your calendar
var email = "";                           // OPTIONAL: If "emailSummary" is set to true or you want to receive update notifications, you will need to provide your email address
var customEmailSubject = "";              // OPTIONAL: If you want to change the email subject, provide a custom one here. Default: "GAS-ICS-Sync Execution Summary"
var dateFormat = "DD.MM.YYYY"             // date format in the email summary (e.g. "YYYY-MM-DD", "DD.MM.YYYY", "MM/DD/YYYY". separators are ".", "-" and "/")

Thank you for your assistance!

When you say it isn't working with that outlook URL, what error messages are you seeing? The screenshot you included means that the script was installed successfully and should be running every five minutes based on the settings you have. The script runs on google's servers and doesn't require your PC to be on.
