Outlook Calendar

The Outlook Calendar connection allows agents and workflows to read calendars and create or update Microsoft 365 calendar events through Microsoft Graph. It is suitable for scheduling assistants, meeting coordination, follow-up workflows, and enterprise scenarios that depend on Outlook as the system of record.

Use this connection when the agent should work with a user's or shared mailbox calendar instead of Google Calendar.

Add the Connection​

  1. Open Connections.
  2. Select Add Integration.
  3. Choose Outlook Calendar.
  4. Complete Microsoft sign-in and consent.
  5. Name the connection and save it.

After the connection is created, assign it only to the agents, workflows, or skills that actually need calendar access.

Typical Uses​

  • list events in a selected time range,
  • create a calendar event,
  • update an existing event,
  • include attendees in meeting scheduling flows,
  • combine calendar work with mail, CRM, or task automations.

Expected Behavior​

  • The connection works against the Microsoft account that authorized the integration.
  • Calendar visibility still depends on Microsoft 365 permissions for that user or mailbox.
  • Writing operations can affect attendees, reminders, and the visible meeting calendar, so use confirmations for production scheduling scenarios.

Guidance for Reliable Scheduling​

  • Always confirm the timezone and exact start/end time.
  • Verify the target calendar when a user has multiple calendars.
  • Review attendee lists before execution because meeting invites may be sent immediately depending on the operation.
  • For workflow automation, prefer explicit time windows instead of vague prompts such as "sometime tomorrow morning."

Technical Notes​

  • Implementation: The connection exposes Outlook calendar event operations through Microsoft Graph.
  • Authentication/scopes: uses Microsoft OAuth/Graph access for the connected account and calendar.
  • Functions: list calendar events, create events, and update existing events including attendee handling.
  • Write behavior: creating or updating events can notify attendees and modify a production calendar, so confirmations are recommended for shared or customer-facing accounts.
