Outlook Calendar events populating Smartsheet?
Good morning,
I have attempted to search the answer but not having much luck.
My question is:
The team I am apart of currently use Outlook calendars to record the various event sessions taking place throughout the day in different rooms.
We have begun using Smartsheet to record the events so we can display the statistical to various departments.
Is there an easy way so that link / input the information from outlook calendar to Smartsheet?
We are considering the Smartsheet app however were some issues regarding time displayed.
(each event is booked based upon time slots available, and from what I saw from: https://community.smartsheet.com/discussion/83599/calendar-time-hour-minutes, this option is not as user friendly as Outlooks calendar).
Thank you very much for your time,
Matthew

There currently isn't a way to overlay an Outlook Calendar on top of a Smartsheet Calendar; you can do the reverse, publish dates from Smartsheet into Outlook.
Please provide your feedback to the Product team through this form, here.

Is there a way to sync a report calendar or more than smartsheet calendar to outlook? We have multiple sheets in a report that feeds our global calendar, our leadership team wants these to show up in their Outlook calendars.

Hi @LBeam
No, publishing a Calendar to Outlook is not currently supported by a Report type of Smartsheet item; you would need to have all the dates in a Sheet. (See the bullet points at the bottom of this Help Article).

Is this still the case today?
I want to publish an event calendar by reflecting the events in my Outlook calendar in Smartsheet.

Hi @Kenji
Yes, this is still currently the case today. 🙂

Do you plan to develop the ability to create Smartsheets from Outlook Calendar in the future?

That would be a great thing! We found a work around utilize PowerBi to move the items over into Smartsheet. It has been working great.
