Outlook plug-in overview

The Outlook plug-in, sometimes called the Calendly plug-in for Outlook or the Outlook desktop plug-in, is a tool designed to connect Calendly to your desktop Outlook calendar if you are unable to use the Office 365/Outlook.com connection.  

For example, you can:

  • Set Calendly to add new scheduled meetings directly to your Outlook desktop calendar.
  • Have Calendly check your Outlook desktop calendar for conflicts. 

Before you begin

  • The Outlook plug-in is for Windows only and is not available for Mac. Calendly's Outlook desktop plug-in works with:
    • Outlook 2007 or later
    • Windows XP or newer
  • Calendly's Outlook plug-in is not compatible with Outlook versions downloaded from the Microsoft/Windows store. Downloaded Outlook from your O365 account in order to use the Outlook plug-in.

Note

If you can login and view your calendar here, we recommend connecting using our Office 365/Outlook.com connection

Outlook plug-in vs. Outlook add-in

The Outlook plug-in connects your Outlook calendar to Calendly to check for conflicts and add events. It is separate from the Outlook add-in, which allows you to share your scheduling links and availability from your Outlook toolbar.
