Outlook Integration

The event calendar comes with third party calendar integration support through the integration plugin. This needs to be added to the download package or installed separately from a dedicated NPM package.

It includes everything you need to authenticate your users, get their Outlook calendars and provides functions for CRUD operations. It takes care of loading the events and converts them to the required format so that they can be displayed on the Mobiscroll calendar separately or mixed with other calendars and events.

Customizing the interaction, event workflows, whether the events are read-only is up to you. In this live demo, newly created events will land in the primary calendar of the authenticated user.

This example uses the integration plugin to connect to and load events from Outlook Calendars and it is not available in the trial. Give the live demo a try and see how it can be configured.

Connect the event calendar to Outlook via plugin — sign in users, load calendars, and add, edit, or delete events with optional write-back.
