I am trying to understand the use case for a Project Manager trying to use the current Outlook Calendar integration. My current need is to have the ability to have tasks created from Outlook calendar event as a task in my project. Ok, I use the Monday integration recipe, which ok that works. The problem is all other events, meetings, you name it that I have for today are also showing up in my project in the backlog as a new task. Can anyone explain to me how this works? It would seem crazy to me that the integration is not some how controlled as opposed to have everything come in to Monday.
Hey @jcorrea
We developed an app called Outlook Calendar Integration Plus that provides a robust Outlook calendar <> monday.com integration.
The monday.com integration is an “all or nothing” integration which allows to sync all event or nothing at all.
Our app allows specifcing only specific events/conditions which are then created in monday. See 2 examples below →
Also →
- Allows to select which calendar to use (not just the primary default)
- Supports subitems
- Much more flexible triggers - “no more sync every item”
- Allows full mapping - updates, invitees and more
- Allows to control the start & end date and time.
You can find it in the monday.com marketplace in the platform or here - Outlook Calendar Integration Plus - monday.com App Marketplace
Hope that helps
Is it possible to synchronize a calendar? Say team’s vacation calendar with calendar for the project in Monday?
