How can I get an approved vacation to be added to outlook calendar automatically?

Kash

I have set up a sheet of planned time off requests, once an item is added, the manager listed in the column gets a notification for approve/ reject/ request review once approved, the status in the sheet changes to 'approved' along with the same workflow I would like it to add a calendar entry in Manager's and employees outlook calendar.

How can I set that up?

@Kash Are you using Outlook?

Here are the steps to start: https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/775707-publishing-a-smartsheet-calendar-to-ical

Then, when you click the Calendar toggle on, click the "Add to my calendar" link. This will open the calendar in outlook for you. You can then right click on the calendar name and choose "Overlay".

There's no way to send an invite to people directly from Smartsheet.

Thanks Ryan, this would have helped if I were to move everything from the sheet to my calendar. But I would have team items in the sheet that I don't want going into my outlook calendar and hence I don't think I should set this up for my instance. But I will keep it in mind for future needs.

Thank you.
