I have 2 Google Calendars that I have shared with my wife. They appear in her GC correctly under "Other Calendars". However, doing an AutoDiscovery does not see them.

Any suggestions what to look at?

  We encountered a similar issue in Sesame when syncing shared Google Calendars across multiple users. Here are some steps that worked for us:

  1. Check Sharing Permissions:
     Make sure the calendars are shared with "Make changes and manage sharing" permissions. While "See all event details" is sufficient for viewing, some sync tools require higher permissions to detect shared calendars during AutoDiscovery.

  2. Manual Calendar Integration:
     If AutoDiscovery doesn’t work, try manually adding the calendar’s ID to your sync tool. You can find the calendar ID under Settings > Integrate Calendar for each shared calendar.

  3. Account Access Verification:
     Confirm that the sync tool is connected to the correct Google account. If your wife’s account has multiple profiles logged in, ensure the sync process is pointing to the primary account where the shared calendars appear.

  4. API Scopes and Limitations:
     Some sync tools rely on specific API scopes. Ensure that the tool has the necessary permissions to access "Other Calendars" in Google Calendar.

  5. Cache Refresh:
     In our case, refreshing the cache or re-authenticating the Google account within the sync tool resolved detection issues.

  By following these steps, we were able to ensure shared calendars were properly detected and synced.
