Microsoft Outlook

On-Call Optimizer supports the import of availability information from one or more Outlook calendars.

Connection Process

To link an Outlook Calendar to your On-Call Optimizer account follow the connection instructions and click the Connect Outlook button.

You can connect any number of Outlook calendars (e.g. work and personal) to a single On-Call Optimizer account so long as you have permission to log-in and complete the authorization process with each Microsoft account.

Updating calendar selection

You can change or update which of the accessible calendars will be used as a source of availability information following the instructions for calendar configuration.

Disconnecting

To remove an Outlook Calendar connection:

1. Select Calendars from the side bar
2. From the list of available connections click the Disconnect icon at the bottom of the connection you wish to remove.

Required Permissions and Data

On-Call Optimizer uses the minimum possible set of OAuth permissions and takes steps to minimize the amount of calendar data accessed and stored.

OAuth scopes requested

• Calendars.Read
  • Used to retrieve the list of available calendars to allow you to select which calendars On-Call Optimizer should process.
  • Used to read event information from selected calendars to match to your availability preferences.

Data accessed

On-Call Optimizer filters all accessed events and only retains the description and start/end time details for matched events. No other calendar data is retained or stored.
