What is Outlook Calendar?

Outlook Calendar is a scheduling tool that works together with Outlook Email to help you schedule and manage your day in one view.

Why Outlook Calendar + Asana?

The Asana + Outlook Calendar integration makes it easy to schedule meetings using relevant contextual work data from Asana–without having to switch between tools..

Create or link calendar events

Both team leads and individual users can create an event from a task, by manually entering the starting and ending date/time, or selecting “First available time within date range,” which also includes the calendar availability of any collaborators whose calendars are visible to the event creator.

You can also link to an existing calendar event and transfer task details to that event, by searching for that event in the Outlook Calendar field.

Use rules for recurring events at scale

Team leads and individual users can also easily set up automated workflows to schedule recurring events, cutting down on time needed to manually coordinate meetings like regular office hours, or transferring project milestones to shared calendars.

When setting up the automation, you can carry the following details from Asana to your Outlook Calendar event:

  • Title, start/due date, description
  • Optionally invite collaborators as guests, attach files from the task, or generate a Teams meeting

Once the event is created from the task, it can be viewed within the task as a widget that displays the event title, organizer, and timestamps.

Set up Asana > Outlook Calendar sync to automate event updates

Team leads and individual users can also set up Asana > Outlook Calendar sync so future updates on Asana tasks are automatically reflected in the associated calendar events.

You can sync:

  • Title, start/due date, description
  • Optionally invite collaborators as guests
