Supports both items & subitems.
Full data mapping - including files, updates, and meeting attendees.
Full control over event hours - instead of full-day events.

Team Outlook Calendar
The Team Calendar is built for teams that need a shared scheduling system and centralized management. Unlike the Personal Calendar, authentication is handled through a Connection Center, where all calendar connections are managed in one place.
Main Benefits vs. Personal Calendar
Centralized Management & One-Time Authentication – Each team member authenticates once, and all connections are managed in one place through the Connection Center. Once set up, anyone configuring automation can apply it to the entire team without requiring individual authentications or multiple setups.
Simplified Setup – Instead of creating separate automations per person, a single automation works for the entire team.
Flexible Event Reassignment – Events can be reassigned between team members without creating duplicates or leaving outdated events in the wrong calendar.
Smart Assignment Logic – Automations can assign events based on workload, availability, or custom rules, ensuring better distribution of tasks.
