Outlook agenda in Obsidian

Oh, crap… I really should have done that unprompted ;p

icalBuddy -npn -nrd -df "" -nc -b "- " -ps "|\t|" -po "datetime,title" -iep "datetime,title" eventsToday

Note that this is what I use right now in a bash script where I automatically put it in the clipboard for pasting - I’ve used the from: to: syntax when I was using it with templater.

Anyway, the command gives me one task on each line, but with templater they all get squished into one line.

Not that I’m an expert but can you try swapping out your -ps string for this:

I’m guessing you need a ‘\n’ new line somewhere…

I tried that. It didn’t work. It just adds an extra newline when I run it in the terminal, but both get removed in Obsidian.

Hi all,

I’ve integrated my Outlook calendr using templater and a python script:

whoa! impressive!

How did you do that?

I was wrong, I’m now back at my computer and have no new lines in my command either and it works fine. is it possible that it’s a setting in Obsidian itself? Like, maybe turn off the setting ‘strict line breaks’ in settings>editor ?

Hi Kabo,

I’ll create a Github repository to share my scripts, including this one…

That was it! Strict linebreaks was the villain, and turning it off made everything work!

Yay! :partying_face:

Hey! Wondering if there is a link you could share to this repo? I’d love to be able to integrate my calendar as you have. Thank you!

What’s the best place to find instructions to get this setup running for a novice?

Do you have the link for this repo?

I would also be glad if you can share it with the community.

Hi guys,

I am trying to get this to work. It works fine called from the terminal. But dies not work when called from Templater… It says “No calendars”…

Has anyone seen this behavior? I have even tried to call icallbuddy via commonjs script from Templater but no success…

Any hints are appreciated!

Hi Igor, are you able to direct me to your repo?

I’ve been trying to get iCalBuddy working with my Outlook Agenda today following the instructions found here

I’m using the “fixed” edition of iCalBuddy, running current OSX and Obsidian, but unfortunately keep having this error message return when I create a new Daily Note

I imagine it’s a simple step I’m missing somewhere along the line and will try again later with fresh eyes, but want to see if anyone has troubleshot this before

I’ve managed to connect to my Outlook calendar using the (new?) Full Calendar plugin. The trickiest part is figuring out your calendar’s .ics URL.

I’ve just found this today too. Looking to dive in this week

Hi
Is there an instruction to get the events from a Windows system to obsidian?

Thanks
