Outlook Calendar, aligned with your venue planning
Your confirmed events appear in Outlook Calendar. The planning is managed in Joinways, and the team's Microsoft 365 calendars reflect it automatically.
Pushed automatically
Confirmed events appear in Outlook Calendar, and changes made in Joinways follow. No re-typing.
Microsoft 365 native
Works with the calendars your team already shares in Outlook and Microsoft 365.
OAuth connection
Two minutes with your Microsoft account. No password stored, revocable at any time.
What the Outlook Calendar integration does, concretely
The team keeps checking Outlook. Joinways makes sure what they see there is true.
Bookings where the team looks
A booking confirmed in Joinways appears in Outlook Calendar. No export, no re-typing, no morning briefing to fix.
One version of the truth
The planning lives in Joinways; the Outlook calendar is its reflection. A date moved in Joinways is updated in Outlook, so the team never reads an old version.
Reliable availability
What is booked in Joinways is visible in Outlook: the team answers a date request without cross-checking two tools.

Let bookings file themselves
Confirmed events appear in Outlook Calendar from now on, without manual entry.
Two situations where it changes the day
The Monday planning meeting
The shared Outlook calendar already shows the bookings confirmed over the weekend. The meeting starts from facts, not from someone reading the CRM aloud.
The room set up on the wrong day
A client moves their cocktail from Thursday to Friday. The change made in Joinways is already in the operations team's calendar: the room gets set up on the right day.
Why sync your venue planning with Outlook Calendar?
In teams running on Microsoft 365, the shared Outlook calendar is where operations actually happen: setup times, room allocations, who is on site. When bookings live in a separate tool, someone has to copy them over, and every copy is a chance to get the date, the room or the time wrong.
The integration removes the copying. Confirm a booking in Joinways and it is in Outlook Calendar; move it in Joinways and the calendar follows. Two minutes to connect through Microsoft OAuth, then it simply runs.
And without the sync?
Someone copies bookings into the shared calendar, by hand, when they have time. Every copy is a chance to get the date, the room or the time wrong.
The planning becomes a matter of interpersonal trust instead of a checkable fact: did you copy it into Outlook?
