When does the "Other Calendar" from Google Calendar get updated? - google-calendar-api

I have added a calendar to my google calendar by using option "Add by URL".
This URL is from web application, so when I make some changes to the Schedule date of the task in web application it should also get reflected in google calendar that I have added.
When I add the calendar for first time all the schedule dates are shown in calendar but when some rescheduling is done those changes are not reflected.
So I would like to know the frequency at which google updates the "Other Calendar". Is is after every 24 hours?
Notes : ICalendar format is used for adding events.

I think this feature is not yet supported as of now.
This question was also asked in this calendar forum where the suggested workaround was:
just add another calendar by url, but this time change URL a little
bit so that Google thinks that this is a new, different calendar:
http://server.com/my/calendar/feed.php
http://server.com/my/calendar/feed.php?version=2
Your server will just ignore this extra parameter.

Hidden event being shared with google calendar

Some spam email managed to create a hidden reoccurring event in my google calendar and it's being shared with outlook (www.hotmail.com) and my iPhone.
On my iPhone, I was able to delete the series and it disappeared.
On hotmail, I can't seem to do anything to it.
I know its coming from the shared google calendar because I removed the calendar from hotmail and it disappeared, and then re-appeared when I added it again.
How do I find this in google and delete so I'm not forever reminded that "poste italien" is delivering something tonight at 2:10am?
FWIW, after much fiddling, I:
exported my calendar from gmail
looked at the text.ics and found the date the event was created (2 years ago!)
went to my calendar in gmail and found the event on that date and deleted it (and the series)
removed the calendar from hotmail
reimported/resubscribed the calendar
And at that point it did not show up any more. hurrah.

Google Analytics: Why are goals completions not showing in conversion

I just set up Google Tag Manager to fire events when pressing add to cart button. The events are fired correctly using Preview.
Then in Google Analytics, i set up a Goal with Event's label equal to "Add To Cart" (which is the same label i used when creating the Tag in Google Tag Manager).
I can see the goal being recorded if i'm in Real-Time/Conversions
But when i'm in Conversions/Goals/Overview i'm not seeing anything, even though i already set the date range correctly. Is there anything wrong with my setup?
Google Analytics isn't intended to be a real-time tracker, and Goals is one report that does show a delay in reporting. Give it 24 hours (it'll probably show results before that, but 24 hours is recommended to see accurate reports.)

Add custom events to website user's google calendar using calendar api

I envision a user visiting my mobile website (not an app), finding an important event with an associated date, being asked if they want to sync this date/event to their google calendar, saying yes, and my website depositing this event into their google calendar.
Their would be many events, and they would be based on user input, so it wouldn't work to just sync my calendar with theirs. I would have to insert a custom date/event into their calendar so they could track it.
Hopefully this makes sense. I haven't seen anything like this on the web but I'm sure it exists.
Thanks,
S
Take a look at the Google Calendar Event Publisher Guide. It sounds like it will meet your needs.

Shared Google calendar: how to find who updated event?

My team is using google shared calendar. Sometimes members blow away some events, I would like to see if there is a way to find out 'last updated by' and 'who updated specific event'
I could not find setting in Google calendar.
Thanks
There is no way to do this. However, rather than giving users editor rights to the calendar, you could simply give them read or freebusy access to the calendar and configure the calendar to auto-accept the events. Then when users need to create events on the shared calendar, they'd invite the calendar rather than creating the event directly on it. This gives each user access to modify only the events they own on the calendar.

Do we have Tasks in Google Calendar? If not then how it is managed during migration from Outlook to Google Calendar?

I want to make Task in Google Calendar using Google Calendar API : c#.
Before that i manually tried to create Task in Google Calendar.But i didn't found it there.
So, My question is that if Task doesn't exist in Google then how Google Tool For Calendar migration manage it?
Thanx
Tasks exist in Google Calendar.
Look at the link below "Quick add" at your left.
See the long blue section below the dates display but above the calendar field where you place your events? Click there. You will get an invitation to create either an event, or a task. If you choose task, it will appear right in that blue panel.
