  • If you have several Microsoft Outlook accounts, you can set up an integration for each account. Make sure to name them distinguishedly for your easy management.

  • All-day events will be synced and displayed on the top of the timeline view in PolyPlan

  • Events that you are invited to can be synced as well

  • You only can see the details of events when viewing it on PolyPlan. All actions to edit or delete the events should be done using the Microsoft Outlook Calendar app.

  • The reminders of your event are not synced. The main point of this integration is to help you manage all things in one place while not overwhelm you with reminders from both the source app and PolyPlan, so it's still Microsoft Outlook that reminds you.
