Would be possible to have a two-way sync for SuiteCRM Calendar to Google Calendar? or Google Calendar to SuiteCRM?
Yup, if you go into your profile > Advanced there is a section called Calendar Options this should have all this information you need to link up the calendars 
If you need more direction on how to link it from the ical url to the google calendar just ask
I already copied or link the iCal integration URL to the Google calendar but the meetings that I created on the SuiteCRM Calendar wonāt display in the Google Calendar.
Can you please provide the steps you took to add the ical URL to your google calendar?
Not sure if I have this correct, but here are my steps
Not sure if this allows for two sync?
The meetings I put in SuiteCRM are not immediately showing up in Gmail.
Not sure what the refresh times are
Log into gmail
Select Calendar
Select Cog(options)
Select Settings
Select āCalendarā from the top tabs
Select āBrowse interesting calendars Ā»ā from the near the bottom right under the āOther Calendarsā section
Then
Top right under āMore Toolsā
Select āAdd by URLā
Paste the URL from your SuiteCRM >> Profile>>Advanced Tab >> iCal URL
eg: http://contact.domain.com/ical_server.php?type=ics&key=9613f-54-09-5d5-580c5&email=dave@domain,com
Select Add Calendar
Okay all done, where is it?
Select āĀ« Back to calendarā in the top left
Now you can see the Calendar reference under "Other Calendarsā and you can give it a color.
After its set up I can see back under āOther Calenderā more options for ānotificationsā
Steps:
1. I log-in to the SuiteCRM.
2. Go to profile then advanced tab.
3. then i copy the iCal integration URL.
4. paste it on the Add by URL in Other Calendars using the Google Calendar
Could be possible Google event in calendar to SuiteCRM calendar using ical?
Running version 7.8.1 on a Debian wheezy server in our office. I opened up a www port and pasted the ical link into Google. Connection was successful, but none of my tasks are syncing. The meetings I had entered in SuiteCRM synced over but not the tasks.
Is it possible to sync all entries in the calendar, or only meetings?
Also, even though the calendar is shared to google, I cannot modify the calendar from google. How can I edit permissions on the CRM side to allow two-way sync with google?
Too bad we canāt edit our posts here, right?
Anywayā¦ Found another problem with my shared calendar. Google isnāt receiving the time zone from CRM. On google the calendar time zone is (GMT+00:00) GMT, but in the CRM itās -4:00 New York/America.
Iām digging around in the SuiteCRM folder on our server for config files. Iād sure appreciate any help in solving these issues.
Anytime this is planned to be fixed? The two way sync with google calendar for all entries of SuiteCRM? That would be fantastic!
Iām giving it a shot. Itās going to be quite a project for me.

Is this available as an Installable Package which we can add to existing CRM. As there are no clear indications from SuiteCRM when they would merge this to master and allow everyone to use it, can the files be pointed out so we can cherry pick them to add to existing system.
@benjamin.long Hats off to your effort and the contribution to community.
Iām not sure where my problem is so Iām gonna ask here and if it needs to be asked elsewhere, maybe a mod can move it(?).
First of all, I am running SuiteCRM 7.11.1 on an Ubuntu Linux system.
I have read the docs but I have one huge stumbling block, there is no place in System Settings for the Google Authentication(there is no entry below the Proxy Settings as is shown in the docs). I can see the stuff regarding Google Suite but something Iām doing there isnāt working right either as when I select the json file, it doesnāt seem to upload, even when I click save because it still says that itās unconfigured.
Do I need to have something else configured to get the Google Authentication to show?
Any insights appreciated.
Ok, I tried installing benjaminās github version of this and Iām still not showing the Authentication stuff on it either. At this point Iām at a complete loss because I have searched the code and the code for this seems to be there but for some reason isnāt enabled or showing.
Itās been moved. Unfortunately whoever moved it didnāt update the Docs to reflect it. Iāll see if I can find time to fix that.
Itās further down in the Admin page, where Google things have been given their own section.

What youāre looking for is under āGoogle Calendar Settingsā.
Well at least I wasnāt crazy trying it. I still canāt figure out why it wonāt accept my credentials.
I searched the code and it shows the url as ā/index.php?entryPoint=saveGoogleApiKey&getnewā, is that what I should use or do I cut off the ā&getnewā?(Iām assuming cut it off but itās always wise to ask). Iām not entering a partial URL here, Iām just wondering if I have done that part correctly as well. If all of that is correct then I have no idea why it wonāt configure because Iāve followed the instructions.
The URL from the docs is correct:

Iām not sure where youāre seeing &getnew.
The ā&getnewā is shown in SuiteCRMās code for the entryPoint. I searched for it to make sure I had entered the URL correctly.
Well Iām at a complete loss then. I have no clue why it wonāt configure. Iāve followed the instructions and it never says it configured, and unless the calendar stuff for the user isnāt in the Advanced profile tab any more, itās definitely not showing. Hmmph, any ideas beyond what Iāve tried? Do I need to configure the consent screen at all? I did so just in case but still get nothing(though I didnāt tell it to verify my domain, etc.)
Ok, well I just discovered that the Google Authentication thing does NOT show up on the Administrator account but does show up on my user account(that is also an admin so I didnāt think to look) but it says āThe current API token is DISABLEDā, so Iām guessing I have to see why it isnāt actually getting the JSON file.
