Connect your Outlook account
TL;DR: After installing the app, you need to authorize two connections — first with monday.com , then with Microsoft Outlook. Both happen in the same flow, takes about 2 minutes total.
Before you start
- Outlook Calendar Integration Plus must be installed on your monday.com account. If you haven't done that yet → Installation & Set up
- Have a board open where the app has been added — you'll see the board view ready to connect.
- Have your Microsoft Outlook credentials on hand — you'll need them to sign in during the flow.
Authorize with monday.com
Review the permissions the app is requesting
Click Authorize to grant access
This lets the app read and write data on your boards (items, columns, subitems) to keep them in sync with your calendar.
Connect to Outlook
The second connection authorizes access to your Microsoft calendar.
Click CONNECT TO OUTLOOK
A Microsoft sign-in window will open — select your account or enter your credentials
Complete the setup
Once both connections are authorized:
Click CONTINUE TO SETUP on the confirmation screen
Click the Outlook Credentials dropdown
Select your connected email address
You're now connected and ready to configure your first sync.
Verify the connection
- Scroll down to Connected Outlook Accounts — your email should appear with a green Active status
- If you see an error, try the flow again — transient network issues can interrupt the redirect
Common gotchas
- Each user connects their own Outlook account — there's no shared/admin-level connection
- The token stays valid until you revoke it or your Microsoft admin changes policies
- If the token expires, you'll be prompted to re-authenticate (see Re-authenticate with Microsoft )
- Your credentials are never stored by the app — only the OAuth token
Next up
Your account is connected — now configure your first sync.
