How to Sync Outlook Calendar With Dynamics 365 and Calendar 365

Dynamics 365 users often ask whether they can synchronize Outlook and Dynamics 365. The answer to that is yes! This blog will help you configure the settings step by step.

Once you have configured it, you will be able to see all the activities in Dynamics 365, which is created in Outlook, and vice versa.

So, let’s start configuring Dynamics 365.

Step 1: In Dynamics 365, go to Settings > Administration > System Settings.

After some time, changes will be reflected in Dynamics 365.

The exact change will also be reflected in Calendar 365, a Dynamics 365 calendar plugin.

sssss0014

Step 8: If we want the appointment created in Outlook to reflect on Dynamics 365, it should be either created from the Dynamics 365 App for Outlook or should be categorized as Tracked to Dynamics 365.
