Synergist - Outlook Calendar Integration

Make smarter scheduling decisions with our new 2-way Outlook Calendar integration.

Bookings from Outlook calendar (Microsoft 365) are now visible in Synergist. When allocating work you can now see any prior commitments, whichever calendar they were made in.

Work allocated via Synergist Calendar Bookings appears in Outlook calendars, ensuring your team always have a complete picture of what's coming up.

This feature can be enabled centrally for all your Synergist users by linking your Outlook / Microsoft 365 domain to Synergist.
