Calendar app - Office 365/Outlook

[ToddsterAU 8]

Hi. Just wondering if/when the new Calendar app will be linkable to Office 365/Outlook as we use O365 for our workplace.

Thanks!

[TK0047 407]

I voted up!

I use Google Cal for personal and we use Office 365 for work so it would be more usable for me if other options become available.

Yes. The calendar function isn't helpful until it syncs with multiple programs (Apple, Office, Outlook).

[mczin 64]

Agree...would be great to have that.

+1 for this

That nice Mr Small did say (I think) that they would be expanding the options available,  but -as ever- the company don't (usually) confirm what's in the pipeline or when they're likely to release until a feature is actually available.

I think I saw a suggestion that Outlook calendars would be supported... Some hope for the OP there.

I would like to see a way to use the calendar link with Outlook

Definitely agree on the O365 integration for work! Trying to figure out a workaround since I enabled a share link that imports into my Gmail calendar... but Google only refreshes it once a day at best. Ugh.

Outlook integration would bring me back from OneNote.

I read Evernote was planning on adding such a feature.  Any ideas on the timeline?

In the past there was a message in the coming soon section of the "release notes". Now I can see anithing about it 😞

I think will be very useful, also for the "flow". At home google calendar is very common, at work I always use Office365

[PinkElephant 4,891]

You could create a Google calendar, link your work calendar to it and then link the Google calendar to EN.

[agsteele 1,529]

In one of the early release forums I saw a note confirming that other types of calendar are being considered.

Any more word on Outlook/Apple Calendar integration?

I use Outlook on my PC and Google Calendar on my Android Phone and Tablet, I have a small programme 4Tech Sync2 running on the PC.  Any additions/Deletions/Edits made on any if the Devices are seemlessly synced automatically every ten minutes or can be invoked to Sync immediately if required therefor having my Google Calendar connected to EN gives me up to date state of my Calendar on all three devices.

I have a workaround in place, I use Outlook Calendar on my PC when Google Calendar Sync was announced as I already had a Google Accoung (although had not used Calendar) I installed a small programme (4 Team Sync2) on my Desktop this runs in the background and syncs with Google Calandar (you can set your prefreed times down to 10 min intervals although you can invoke a manual sync at any time and there is a box you can tick to instigate a synce as soon as you have amended/inserted or deletes an entry in Outlook.  I now use my Outlook Calendar on PC and have Google running on Android Phone and Android Tablet.  No matter which device is use to amend/insert/delete an entry it is automatically synced to all devices (also syncs Contacts & Tasks as well) So by connecting My Google Calendar to EN all the enties are viewable in he Calendar Widget on the Home page.

I have a really hard time understanding why the folks at Evernote can't offer synchronizering with Outlook-calenders. I don't want a workaround that puts my stuff into Google. Microsoft is on the offensive with Zoom and Evernote. If Evernote can't sync with Outlook, it will end up being beat out by Microsoft. I hope it doesn't happen, but...

Possibly because they have a closer business relationship with Google than semi-competitor Microsoft,  and when it came down to designing a link they chose that one over any of the many other possible calendars.  (I believe that are a few Apple users out there too...).

Evernote have said they're looking at additional formats,  so Outlook's time will come.

Integrated to Office365/Outlook would be a good add.  Please.

According to posts elsewhere in the Forums,  that may already be in progress,  but the delivery date is unknown.

Before I started using Evernote as my primary notetaking app, I primarily used Outlook for calendar and mail.

Now, because of the incompatibility with outlook, I am forced to use Google mail (which I was using as just a mailserver, hate how it functions) and Google calendar (which I hate even more). 

To me, the future compatibility with outlook, should have happened years ago.

I still use Outlook calendar and mail - it's easy enough to link to notes for the detail,  while using Outlook for dates and messages.

Insane to me that we're still waiting on this...

[PinkElephant 4,891]

Its not there, and if you decide to wait it is your own decision.

What currently works: Set up a Google calendar, sync your whatever calendar to Google, sync Google to EN.

[agsteele 1,529]

I believe that the outlook calendar stuff is about to enter beta for those signed up for it.

[PinkElephant 4,891]

You can sync a lot of calendars to Google calendar, and you can sync a Google calendar (or several) to your EN account. Plus you can of course sync a Google calendar directly.

Can you explain why this is not helpful ?

[ColinScatt 0]

@PinkElephant May be in the minority here, but I've had mine set up as you allude to for over a year now I think. The biggest issue is that it doesn't actually sync frequently enough. I can, in most cases, count on the calendar for the day to be correct when I open it first thing in the morning. However, any changes don't get synced until who-knows when. Sometimes it doesn't matter, but plenty of the time it is a real PITA. To have a real Outlook sync that operates at a more frequent, or at least consistent/reliable cadence, would be huge for me.

[PinkElephant 4,891]

Hi Colin, since I am not on Outlook, and neither on Google, I just relax. Apple calendar is probably so far away it doesn’t merit spending a single drop of adrenaline.

Sure a double sync will never be as good or fast as a direct link. But for those who want to use it, it is still better than NO link.

As previously noted, the Outlook 365 sync is in beta.
