RSS not working on Google Calendar
RSS doesn’t work on Google calendar.
❌ The two main issues:
1. Lines are too long
According to RFC 5545, no line in an .ics file should exceed 75 characters. If it does, it must be:
“folded” onto the next line, and
each continuation line must start with a space
Example:
vbnet
Copy
Edit
DESCRIPTION:This is a long description that should be folded to the next line
and this line continues it.
2. Line endings must be CRLF
That means:
Each line should end with rn, not just n or r
Can you help to fix this? or do you have already a workaround?

Hello Ashan,
I’m paying for the RSS Addon, the file necessary to export the Events from my EventOn to the Google calendar, but it is not supported on Google because of the way your code is written, and the OP explains why.
Can you please give priority to this? It has been over 15 days, and if you guys can not fix it, please let me know. I can go with another option, I have a deadline.
Thank you

I’m referring to the functionality of your RSS addon.
I’m referring to how it’s supposed to work.
I created this area on the page that you screenshotted as a workaround for the user until you guys fix this.
Please let me know what is so hard to understand about the request.
Your RSS does not work on Google Calendar, the biggest email/calendar in the world.
Can you fix it?

Hello my friend, Google is indeed the biggest calendar lets get the RSS file fixed up so it works for you and all the others that rely on it 🙂
I thought the issue was with ICS download that is why I mentioned next eventON update will fix it. But if its RSS addon allow us sometime to get this resorted. I dont think it will take too much time 🙂 may be we can get a new update out soon – fingers crossed!

Ok so google calendar does not support RSS feed populating direct into google calendar because RSS feed is XML feed, and google calendar use ICS, so you need a 3rdparty feed parser to process RSS feed into RFC-5545 for google calendar.
You can use auto tools like Zapier, IFTTT to convert RSS to iCalendar feed for google map. But what you have set right now to use .ics file for google is the best method. And I do see that the line length applies here for .ics file — this will be addressed in eventON 4.9.6

Thank you Ashan,
Now you’ve got the OP, the .ics file in the right format will help everybody.
Let’s hope eventON 4.9.6 will come soon.
