Frequently Asked Questions
What authentication method does Outlook Calendar use? ▾
Outlook Calendar connects securely via OAuth 2.0. You will need to create a custom Microsoft Azure App Registration to obtain a Client ID and Client Secret, allowing you to authenticate safely without sharing your password.
Are all Microsoft 365 plans supported? ▾
Yes, any Microsoft 365 or Outlook account that supports API access through the Microsoft Graph API can be connected. Please verify with your Azure administrator that your account has the permissions required to register applications.
How quickly do Outlook Calendar triggers run? ▾
The triggers use a polling mechanism. Konnectify checks your selected Outlook Calendar for changes at regular intervals (usually every few minutes, depending on your Konnectify plan) to detect new or modified events.
How does the integration handle time zones? ▾
All date and time details are communicated using standard ISO formats (such as UTC). To ensure appointments appear correctly on your schedule, confirm that your target tools are configured to use matching time zones.
Can I connect multiple Outlook Calendar accounts? ▾
Yes, you can authenticate multiple Outlook Calendar connections inside Konnectify. Simply add a separate connection for each account using its respective Azure Client ID and Secret when setting up your steps.
What happens when an event is deleted? ▾
The Delete Calendar Event action permanently removes the specified event from your mailbox. This action is irreversible. For scheduled meetings with attendees, consider using the Cancel Calendar Event action instead, which lets you send a cancellation notice.
How do I prevent duplicate calendar events? ▾
To prevent duplicates, you can use the List Calendar Events action to search for existing events matching your criteria (like subject or start time) before executing a Create Calendar Event action.
