Microsoft 365
Microsoft 365 for electricians: every appointment in your own Outlook
The planning stays in elektro.box, the calendar stays Outlook. Whoever is assigned sees the appointment where they look anyway — and the planning sees when they are already busy.
In elektro.box
What the integration does
Every appointment somebody is assigned to appears in their Outlook calendar, and changes follow. The other way, elektro.box reads only when somebody is busy — never the titles of other entries.
For the whole business, IT consents once; after that it applies to every person. If you only want to connect your own calendar, you do that under «My account».
Data flow
What goes in which direction
From elektro.box to Microsoft 365
- Appointments into the Outlook calendar of the person assigned
From Microsoft 365 to elektro.box
- Busy times, so that the planning shows double bookings
Setup
What your business sets up
- 01
Choose the tile
Under Settings › Integrations, choose «Microsoft 365». For the whole business, this is reserved for the owner account.
- 02
Consent
An administrator of your Microsoft account consents once. Microsoft calls this «Read and write calendars in all mailboxes»; your IT can restrict it in Exchange.
- 03
Assign
From then on every appointment lands in the Outlook of the person assigned.
What it does not do
What is connected is the calendar, not the mailbox: elektro.box does not read Outlook mail. Without Microsoft 365, you subscribe to your appointments as a calendar link in Outlook, Apple or Google.
