Microsoft Outlook Calendar Overview#

The Microsoft Outlook Calendar API provides programmatic access to a user's calendar events, allowing for the creation, retrieval, update, and deletion of events within Outlook calendars. With Pipedream, you can integrate these calendar operations into workflows that automate tasks involving scheduling, event management, and coordination with other services. Whether it's triggering actions when new events are created, syncing calendar events with other scheduling tools, or managing attendees, Pipedream's serverless platform enables you to build custom automations with minimal overhead.

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Microsoft Outlook Calendar	`microsoftOutlook`	`app`	This component uses the Microsoft Outlook Calendar app.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
