Integration with Outlook Calendar to synchronize slots and add bookings to it.

Only supporting Google Calendar killed it for me.
Office 365 (Outlook) support would be appriciated.

Hi there @Patrick_Prziborsky

I am really sorry that the Outlook integration isn’t available at the moment. The good news is that we already have such an idea in the Wishlist, and I’ve dropped your comment there too

If more users support the Outlook integration, we’ll try to take it under consideration. All the updates will be posted here.

Hoping to speed this update along by adding that I also wasn’t able to use this feature due to limited integration options.

Please add an outlook calendar or microsoft exchange integration.

Yeah for me - lovely idea but not useful until linked into Outlook and/or calendarly

I’m looking forward to connecting to the Outlook 365 calendar. In the meantime, a workaround would be helpful. Using an ICS link, you can load your Outlook calendar into a Google Calendar. It will then appear alongside other calendars. It would be great if the Elfsight module could then allow you to choose from Google Calendars, instead of automatically using the default calendar.

Hi there and welcome to the Community, @Tom-nl

Many thanks for sharing your thoughts with us!

Add the Outlook Calendar to the Google Calendar could be a great temporary solution, but, unfortunately, it won’t work.

As you’ve correctly mentioned, the imported calendar will appear in the Other Calendars section. Basically, other calendars are calendars you’re subscribed to but do not own. They don’t appear when using Google Calendar integration in Appointment Booking app, because you don’t have a control over the appointments in this calendar.

I understand, that in this case the other calendar belongs to you, but since it’s imported from the Outlook, it won’t be available in the Google Calendar integration.

I hope this explains things.

Thus, unfortunately, we don’t have a workaround at the moment. However, we totally understand that the Outlook integration would be really helpful for many users.

Let’s hope the devs will be able to consider it in the future updates. We’ll keep you in the loop
