Sync Items and Subitems from Multiple Boards to Outlook Calendar

I would like our deadline columns in Monday to sync with an Outlook calendar. So far I have successfully done this with one date column from one board, but I have dozens more boards to go. I do not want to add dozens of calendars to Outlook to achieve this. (And this doesn’t help me gain access to the dates hidden in Subitems, because seemingly I cannot sync those with Outlook)

I tried creating a dashboard calendar on Monday, which pulls in the correct items and subitems from multiple boards. This looks great, and is exactly the functionality I want in Outlook. However, I can’t figure out how to create a sync URL between a dashboard and an Outlook calendar.

I have several questions from this process:

  1. Does anyone know of a way to create a calendar sync URL between a dashboard and an Outlook calendar?
  2. Can I sync subitems with an Outlook calendar, or just Items?
  3. Is there a more streamlined way to sync dates from multiple boards with Outlook, or do I need actually import dozens of URLs and calendars to make this work?

Thanks for any help you can provide!

I have the same questions - thanks for asking them so succinctly Katrina.
The requirement to sync dates from boards with separate outlook calendars is unworkable for us.

May I ask how you got your subitems to show on calendar view? Monday.com say its not supported?

Hi Katrina,

I was hoping you could point me in the direction of the instructions you used to sync the subitems with an Outlook calendar?

Many thanks

Hi,

I am with zzBots! I believe we can help solve your problem. We have both 1-Way and 2-Way syncs for Monday.com and Outlook calendar.

Here is a Bot Pack that will automatically sync Monday.com items to Outlook Events: https://www.zzbots.com/store/mondaycom-microsoft-outlook-calendar-online-1-way-sync

This Bot may require some customization after the install because Monday.com has dynamic and customizable fields.

Hope this helps!
