Syncing Microsoft Outlook Calendar Events with Unito

Looking to sync Outlook events with Unito? Here's what you can expect from this integration.

The integration in action

Supported fields and rules

Here are the fields our integration supports when syncing HubSpot deals, as well as the fields you can use in rules.

What counts as an item in sync?

Unito's Microsoft Outlook integration supports two different work items: contacts and events. Each flow can only sync one type of work item, and any work item synced by that flow counts as an item in sync. So, for example, if you sync Outlook events with a Unito flow, each event synced counts as an item in sync.

Limitations and other things to keep in mind

• Webhooks: Unito uses webhooks to improve syncing speeds. These aren't available from Outlook events, so your flows will only check for updates every five minutes.
• Recurring events: Currently not supported by this integration. The first event will be synced, but following events won't be.
• Attachments: Only links to attachments can be synced, not the attachment itself. If you include a link in your Outlook event, it will be synced by Unito. But if you upload a file to your event, it won't be synced.
• Attendees: Event attendees can only be synced in one direction.
• Location: Only the name of the location will be synced, not the address
• Compatibility with other tools: Outlook events can't be synced with work items that don't have dates, such as Google contacts or Outlook contacts.
• Compatibility with Slack: Currently, Unito can't sync Outlook events with Slack messages.
• Deleting events: Since Unito doesn't delete work items, you'll need to manually delete any work items you sync your Outlook events with.
• Read-only calendars: Unito can't sync Outlook events into a read-only calendar.
• Historical events: Unito will only sync events over an 18-month period. Six months into the past and 12 months into the future.

How Unito creates new Outlook events

When creating new events in Outlook to keep in sync with work items in other tools, Unito will use the Start Date, Start Time, End Date, and End Time to schedule the event. Note that the name of these fields might be a bit different depending on the tool you're using. Here's what you can expect, depending on which fields are available in the original tool and the fields you've mapped:
