Wanting to add due dates to staff's Outlook Calendar

Hi,
I have successfully been able to create a recipe where Monday will email a particular team to let them know of an upcoming deadline for a subtask they’ve been assigned. What I’d ideally also like to do is to have that deadline added to their Outlook Calendar. Everything I’ve been able to find thus far is how to add to MY calendar. Is there a way to add a deadline event to other people’s calendars? If so, can you provide guidance on how to do it?

Thanks,
SC

Hi Shari, this is MK from Mindflows.

As for adding deadlines to your team’s Outlook calendars—Monday.com doesn’t currently support adding events directly to other people’s calendars out of the box. Most calendar integrations only let you add events to your own calendar.

However, here are a couple of workarounds:

  • Use Power Automate or Zapier: You can connect Monday.com to Outlook and create calendar events for others—if you have the right permissions and setup.
  • Shared calendars: If your team uses a shared Outlook calendar, Monday can trigger events there instead of individual calendars.

Thank you MK.

I did find and install Outlook Calendar Integration Plus and have gotten a little further down this path, but I still can’t get it create the recipe we want. Do you think Power Automate or Zapier would be easier or more intuitive to correctly integrate with Outlook Calendar for how we want to use it?
