Introducing iCal Synchronization

Synchronize your project and task milestones with iCal and Google Calendar.
We were feeling festive and thought we'd give you all a nice Christmas gift for 2011, iCal and Google Calendar feeds! We hope you enjoy the festive treat!
Simply click on the Project Report page (magnifying glass), then click on iCal Feed. You will be taken to your calendaring application and it will import the live feed automatically. This means that now you won't forget deadlines because you forgot to check your Project Bubble dashboard. All your project and task milestones will appear in your calendar and be updated automatically.
If you want to import to Google Calendar, just remove the "webcal://" part of the URL to download the ICS file. Then import it to your calendar via the Settings page.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

HUZZAH! Thank you so much Stu; just a quick comment to say keep up the fantastic work! All of us at Blac Ionica are thrilled with Project Bubble. It's made tracking our projects and freelance hours an absolute breeze. Thanks again.

I can't integrate this into Google Calendar. i have only 2 options - one is Outlook, the other is something else (never heard of).
Is there a manual way to do this??

I have imported the ics file for 1 project. Do I really need to do it for each and every project individually?
Also, it only uploaded existing calendar entries. My Google calendar doesn't seem to update when I add new entries in my project bubble calendar. Is this correct?
Shame, because it's a must have and everything else is fantastic

Hi Andy,
We're working on a global calendar sync which will supersede the current iCal Feed feature we have currently. Look out for it.

I was wondering if there was any news on the calendar sync feature? we use google apps for our business and it would be super if we could sync our projects up too! Thanks

Official word is we're still working on it. In the meantime have you tried the webcal:// link as it does work it's just not two way?
