Sync your Joinways events with Microsoft Outlook / Office 365. Settings > Integrations > Calendars.

Connect Outlook Calendar

Connecting Outlook Calendar (Microsoft 365 / Outlook.com) to Joinways lets you see your Joinways events in your regular Outlook calendar. No need to check two tools: your events, dates and venues appear automatically in your schedule.

Why connect

Your Joinways events appear in your Outlook calendar.
Colleagues who don't use Joinways can see your up-to-date schedule.
Availability conflicts are visible in Outlook.

How to connect

Go to Settings > Integrations > Calendars tab.
Click the Outlook Calendar card.
Authorize Joinways via the Microsoft sign-in window.
Select the calendar(s) to sync with.
Connection is confirmed.

💡 You can select multiple Outlook calendars if you want to sync events to a dedicated calendar rather than your main one.

What is synced

For each Joinways event, an event is created in Outlook Calendar with:

The event title.
Dates and times.
Venue and space.
A description with key information.

Sync direction

Sync is one-way: Joinways → Outlook Calendar. Events created or modified in Joinways are reflected in Outlook. Events created directly in Outlook are not imported into Joinways.

⚠️ Deleting an event in Joinways does not automatically remove the entry from Outlook Calendar.

Disconnect

Go to Settings > Integrations > Calendars tab and click Disconnect. Already synced events remain in Outlook.

Troubleshooting

Joinways events don't appear in Outlook Calendar?

Check that the correct calendar is selected in the integration settings. If you use Microsoft 365, make sure the target calendar is visible in your Outlook app (check it in the sidebar). Sync may take a few minutes.

Best practices

Create a dedicated calendar in Outlook for Joinways events. This keeps event bookings separate from personal appointments and makes it easier to manage availability.

💡 Share the Joinways calendar with your team so everyone sees upcoming events without needing individual Joinways access.

FAQ

Can I sync with a shared calendar?

Yes, during setup you can select any calendar accessible from your Microsoft account.

Do personal Outlook events appear in Joinways?

No, sync is outbound only. Joinways does not import any events from Outlook.

Is the update instant?

Sync happens automatically on each event creation or modification in Joinways. A slight delay of a few seconds is possible.
