Microsoft 365 and Outlook calendars
Write bookings to a Microsoft 365 or Outlook.com calendar, shop-wide or only the jobs assigned to you.
Last updated 2 September 2026
Velobook can write bookings into a Microsoft 365 or Outlook.com calendar, the same way as Google Calendar. For a read-only view in a calendar app, iCal subscription feeds are simpler.
Connect the shop calendar
- Open Integrations → Calendars and find the Microsoft 365 and Outlook card. Choose Connect Microsoft calendar, approve on the Microsoft screen, and you come back here
- Works with a work Microsoft 365 account and with a personal outlook.com, hotmail or live address
- Velobook creates its own calendar, Velobook bookings, inside the account and writes every booking there. It never touches anything already in your calendar
- Once connected the card shows the account, whether it is personal or work, the calendar name and when it last updated
What Microsoft asks for
Microsoft asks for all your calendars; it has no narrower option. Velobook only writes to the one it creates and reads nothing else.
On a work or school account, your IT administrator may need to approve Velobook first. A failure about not being able to create the calendar is usually that approval missing.
A mechanic's own calendar
- The card under Integrations is the shop-wide one and takes every booking
- Individual staff can connect their own account from Front desk → My calendar, on the My Microsoft calendar card. That one carries only the jobs assigned to that person, into a Velobook bookings calendar in their own account. Only they can connect or disconnect it, alongside or instead of their Google connection
- The card only appears for people with a staff record in the shop. An owner or admin without one connects the shop-wide calendar under Integrations
When Microsoft signs Velobook out
Microsoft connections lapse from time to time: a password change, a withdrawn consent, or a personal account unused for a few months. The card turns to Reconnect needed. Bookings stop appearing until you fix it.
Press Reconnect. Bookings taken while the connection was down do not appear on the calendar retrospectively, so check the affected days in the Schedule. The same applies if you disconnect on purpose: future bookings stop arriving, and events already on the calendar stay.
