Integrating a Third Party Calendar

Site URL: https://www.templeemanuel.org

I have a calendar that is currently in Outlook 365.  That is where it is updated on a regular basis.  I am trying to do 2 things.  1) Add this calendar as a calendar block on to my website and 2) be able to sync it periodically so it contains accurate information.  Anyone know how to do this?  I found this on another Squarespace website.  I was told I need to use a custom css code to do that. Hoping for an easier way unless someone can share how to do it.  Thanks! 

Hi JKM1968 did you have any luck with this? I'm trying to do exactly the same thing but no luck so far... thanks!

Your calendar on the site looks great. What was your solution?

I would LOVE to know how you did it. Went to your site and it is exactly what I am looking to accomplish. Please share Obi Wan Kenobi, you're our only hope!

Can you be more specific?

I just wanted to know how they did it.

Thanks for clarifying. I'm sorry to disappoint you, but it isn't possible to link an external calendar service with a Squarespace Calendar or an Events page. It is only possible with Squarespace Scheduling.

The site you've mentioned is using a standard Squarespace Calendar Block. It cannot be linked to Outlook 365.

Hmmm, well I know that a Google Calendar can be embedded into a SS site, it just looks really bad... So there is no other way to embed any kind of calendar that stays updated into the SS site and have it look nice?

Perhaps you misunderstood my comment? To clarify, it isn't possible to generate entries on the beautiful built-in Squarespace Calendar Block by linking it to an external calendar; there's no option to link it to something else. Of course you can embed a third party calendar on a Squarespace page, but the challenge is to find one that looks good.

@jkm1968, What did you end up using for your websites calendar? It looks great! 

Thanks so much,
