Outlook Calendar Integration

[mdnetti 15]

Is there any talk or timeline on an integration with Outlook calendar? 99.9% of my meetings are on Outlook, and would love to utilize this functionality - have been testing it with Google calendar and it's great. 

[PinkElephant 8,117]

Outlook was mentioned as the next step, without a date, other calendars were not even discussed.

[mdnetti 15]

yeah, that's my fear - no date. thanks! 

[Smita H 1]

It's really frustrating to not have tasks in evernote sync with outlook calendar which is the one I use the most

 

[mdnetti 15]

I spoke with someone from Evernote next week - they said Outlook calendar integration should be live next month - fingers crossed!

[Pedro Soto 3]

I'm returning with Evernote hoping that this is a great note-taking and organizing tool but, as others said, I have 99.9% of my meetings in Outlook Calendar so I'll be anxious waiting for that native integration. I'm evaluating moving from Priority Matrix to Evernote subscription and that integration is one of the "must" that I need to stay. At this time I'm paying both subscription while I'm evaluating Evernote Professional.

Merhaba,

Bir süredir uğraşıyorum ancak çözemedim. Şirket outlook ve takvimiyle nasıl senkronize etmem gerekiyor? Yardımınızı rica ediyorum. Aksi halde kullanmaya maalesef devam edemeyeceğim.

Teşekkür ederim.

[PinkElephant 8,117]

Merhaba,

currently there is no integration with Outlook, or any other Calendar apart of Google Calendar. EN says they are working on an Outlook integration.

If you want to sync any other calendar, you need to create a Google calendar first. Sync your existing Calendar to the Google calendar, then sync the Google calendar to you EN account.

Hi Guys, do you have any update in this topic. As probably a lot of us have almost all events/meeting (especially business one) in Outlook calendar this feature looks very useful.

[PinkElephant 8,117]

No news about it …

[alokrajput13 1]

I was planning for EN subscription but changed my mind when I came to know that Outlook calendar is not integrated. EN calendar will be useless for most people without Outlook calendar integration.

[mdnetti 15]

I just spoke with them last week and they seemed to indicate it was coming. I told them how important an Outlook integration is for this feature to be usable. I'll let you know if I hear anything else...

[Paulie 1]

I just signed up to Evernote Personal and didn't realize you couldn't integrate outlook!  Really need to option to integrate with Outlook ASAP!

 

[RobertBasilII 1]

6 months later....

[Jason Trenkler 1]

I too would like to see this feature, any updates?

[PinkElephant 8,117]

No, nothing new. EN rarely talks about future plans - they did in this case, but the release has not yet happened.

[Cam Archer 0]

Our company is demoing evernote. Without the outlook calendar plug in we will be moving away from the platform. Our deadline for a decision is mid april... 

[PinkElephant 8,117]

Then you don’t need a deadline any more - or do you really think such a forum post would lead to frantic dev action ?

I use the mail forwarding to my EN mail address to move mails into my EN account. Maybe not good enough for commercial use, no idea.

[RJLUK 307]

Evernote Reminders and be synched to outlook using https://evernote.cronofy.com

Tasks are not. So if if is essential you use Outlook then set reminders for each project and use Evernote tasks within each project.

Or use Microsoft tasks.

[EduarddeV 3]

+1, I would realy love this feature, full integration like you have with Google calendar.

I use outlook.com and work email, even only outlook.com would be a significant win for me.

Thank you,

Eduard

[vossen 3]

+2 , full integration like you have with Google calendar.

Outlook and Apple Calendars are on the roadmap with Outlook features coming first as there is more of a demand for it. No dates, but it has been mentioned by staff here in the forums as others have pointed out. I know it's frustrating with no timeframe, but it is coming.

[sy31496 0]

I add my request for Outlook Calendar sync. This is important.

[adencox 1]

Also throwing in a +1 to the outlook calendar sync - a lot of workplaces use 365 so it is a huge missing feature!

[SmallOxWinery 0]

+1 for outlook calendar sync! this should have been included when it was released (google & Office 365 are the most common calendars in business). 

[PinkElephant 8,117]

Better get something fast, than everything never (or late).

And why should business use cases be the measure ? A dollar is a dollar is a dollar, no matter if it is spend out of a private pocket or from a companies account. 

My personal preference would be the Apple calendar - but probably everybody has a perfect preference here, because usually people use one calendar software (with different calendars). 

[Muni 0]

Another +1 for outlook calendar sync! I've been waiting a long time....

I use 4Team Sync2 for Microsoft Outlook to synchonise with Google Calendar I have Google Calendar on my phone and can access it on the web and obviously have Google Calendar connected to EN and changes made in either Outlook, Google Calendar either on web or on phone Sync (currently set to every 10 mins) but easy to invoke a sync at any time if you want instant sync.   Very happy with it.

[GalenCD 0]

Thanks. I'll look into that!

[RayneS 7]

I don't use Google Calendar anymore, only Outlook. So looking forward to this feature. Can't come soon enough.

I use Outlook as my main Calendar on my desktop, and used to sync it to my mobile phone (Android) using Samsung's smart switch.  This involved physically connecting my phone to the PC using a USB Cable.  When EN got the ability to connect to google Calendar, I did a bit of research and found a nice little programme produced by 4Team, called Sync2, which Syncs my Outlook Callander on my PC to Google Calander and Vice Versa.  I now have Google Calander running on my Phone & Tablet.   Sync2 works away in the background and keeps all my Calendars Synced every 10mins without taking any action or if I have just made an addition or deletion I can manulally invoke a Sync immediately wthout having to wait the ten mins.  Syncs Contacts and Tasks as well.  So I can now enjoy my Calendar synced to EN as well

[Henry M Carvalho 10]

Please more Microsoft integration 

Outlook calendar would be awesome ! 

[raybear0801 1]

Adding in another +1 for the integration with Outlook calendar.

Am very much looking forward to that day. All my personal stuff is in Google calendar, but all my work is in Outlook so having both integrated with Evernote will be a huge benefit. 

[pveersel 1]

I would love to have the integration with outlook agenda 📅 

[jb17 1]

+1 for Outlook integration

Another upvote for Outlook Calendar integration.

It's been a year ...
It would be really great to see Outlook integration coming

[mdnetti 15]

I've actually stopped using Evernote and moved over to Notion - mainly because of lag and sync issues. I know Notion doesn't have a calendar integration, but they have a calendar view of notes. So, I keep my calendar open and quickly click on the day to create the meeting note - it's not as convenient as an integration, but it's the best solution I have and I really like it. In addition, Notions latest update has made the app faster, it's been a really good solution for my workflow. 

[Betina Jessen 0]

I don't want to give you a bad news but there is no free solution that can do the two  calendar 2023 way sync between google cal and outlook cal.

The only way are using 3rd party tools and they are not free.

Please let me know if you have other questions or concerns that I can help you.

[Chalmi 8]

After a very long time waiting for this feature and paid for app for last few years I decided to switch to Notesnook. Notesnook doesn't have such feature also, but they don't even try to go this approach. Instead of this they provide very secure approach to personal data. 

[PinkElephant 8,117]

Since the access to personal data is very secure in EN as well, this is no distinguishing feature. The "zero knowledge" approach is something everybody must decide for himself. Zero knowledge = no OCR by the provider = the search index will only contain what you enter yourself.

EN is not unique in storing everything - what is still outstanding is the ability in finding it again.

Have fun trying ...

Anybody can move to any software at any time for any reason, but this take for this particular thread just made me chuckle: "I've waited too long for this feature so I moved to a different product that also doesn't have this feature"... 😃

Yes. In the meantime I have discovered than it isn't so important to me as over one year ago. For me better to monitor my calendar is dedicated calendar app, dedicated todo apps (also the free one) do much better job than Evernote. Always I have a problem and some doubts about keeping sensitive data in Evernote, I don't have such doubts using Notesnook (about 6 months). I don't say that Evernote is bad, but I discovered than there are other tools in the market which better meet my needs. And waiting for this feature such long time was very... . Have fun using Evernote.

Honestly the most frustrating part of Evernote is its inability to sync with Outlook Calendar and To Dos.  HUGE need here.  That and an app for Apple Watch.   

[vonstael 2]

I know the question have been already asked but is there any update regarding Outlook calendar (office 365) integration ? Any beta  to join ? 

[agsteele 2,950]

No. There is no update and no public beta. Other than that it is being worked on.

[Boot17 1,452]

Arrived in my inbox earlier today:

[RolandDeschain 16]

Please hurry with Outlook integration! It'll be a game-changer for a LOT of people...and it's a hardcore requirement for me to push for company-wide implementation at my employer.

[agsteele 2,950]

It is in beta at the moment. Patience required 🙂

I have been using a workaround for months with a small app on my PC from Fourtech called Sync2.  This automatically syncs Google Calander on my Phone, Tablet & PC with Outlook on my PC

Would love to join the Beta.  Just signed up for Pro Version and moving all from OneNote and my other task tracking system.

 

[BasicallyB 0]

Has there been any progress? I really want to use this app but I’m tied to 365 for work. 

[agsteele 2,950]

The last conversation I had with the Evernote Experts team we were told that is still on the list of expected stuff. Those using the beta release day it works well. Until full release you can use the workarounds detailed further up this thread.

[stevendcollins 0]

Yep -  pretty disappointing actually. I"m still using the original client that has outlook integration (legacy client 6.25.2.9198).  I spoke with the CTO on this back in 2012 or 2013 when they pulled it.  At the time he said they'd likely forego it.  Glad to see there's some potential for it to come back. With the growth of Teams and other - Evernote will need to create this or evernote is likely dead going forward.

 

[agsteele 2,950]

The current integration that is promised (but don't hold your breath) is with the Outlook Calendar in a similar manner to the current offering with Google Calendar.  There are several easy workarounds for the calendar earlier in this thread.

There are no plans that I know of to produce an Outlook Email integration.

[ColinScatt 0]

Just got a notification that the beta with Outlook integration is being terminated, with no ETA for the feature in production. Pretty disappointing way to do this...Why pull it back from beta before the production version is ready? For how long will this kill my workflow? So frustrating.

[PinkElephant 8,117]

„User communication“ is not the first thing that crosses my mind when thinking about EN. 

This told, productive Workflows should NEVER be based on pre-release, beta software. I usually even wait with mission critical workflows until an official update is established as working and without side effects.

Since this thread is about calendar integration, you can maybe save your workflow for now by linking Outlook to Google, Google to EN.

Lecture harder. He was testing a beta feature and it's pretty unusual for any company to remove it before putting it into production, unless they've decided that they are not going to roll it out into production, period; in which case that needs to be communicated before removing beta access to said feature. By your overly strict and "technically true" in general terms statement, no users outside the company developing a piece of software would ever test anything.

[PinkElephant 8,117]

You can do a wide range of „testing“ without using the test to run any mission critical processes.

To me it is quite obvious that despite it being a beta, it was used by @ColinScatt for exactly this: Using the beta to run operational stuff instead of a test scenario. Which of course anybody can decide to do, but should as well take into account that this involves the risk, either of the beta failing, or by the beta being removed, and in the most extreme case the beta being broken off and the development terminated. We don’t know what’s the case here, User to user.

That‘s why I proposed to settle for the workaround, using Google calendar as a stepstone to sync Outlook with EN. This at least makes the workflows operational again, with of course a less than elegant setup, and the need to entrust Google with the data passing through the G-Cal.

Why an existing beta version was removed while there was no replacement, not by another beta release, not by an official (or at least release candidate) version remains a valid question. It should be posted at EN (beta) support.
