How to link a Microsoft Outlook calendar to On-Call Optimizer
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:
- Select
Calendarsfrom the side bar - From the list of available connections click the
Disconnecticon at the bottom of the connection you wish to remove.
OAuth permissions
Disconnecting a calendar in this way will delete all credentials to the calendar held by On-Call Optimizer and prevent any further attempts to read the calendar by On-Call Optimizer, but the OAuth grant of permissions remains in place on the Microsoft side even though it can no longer by utilized by On-Call Optimizer.
For completeness you may want to also visit one of the following pages and revoke any permissions grants for On-Call Optimizer:
- My account consent page - for consumer/live.com accounts.
- My apps pages - for work accounts.
