Outlook Calendar integration is here! 📅: Jun 5

You asked (repeatedly! 😉), and now we can finally say: Todoist now integrates seamlessly with Outlook Calendar!

Your tasks and events, finally together

Whether you’re an Outlook devotee or just required to use it at the office, this integration gives you the complete picture: what you need to do alongside when you actually have time to do it. No more accidentally scheduling three hours of deep work when you’ve got back-to-back meetings all afternoon.

Hugo and the calendar team worked relentlessly to make this happen, and it’s available today for all Todoist plans. Here’s Hugo with a quick walkthrough of how it works:

How to set it up:

  1. Head to Settings → Calendars.
  2. Click Connect Outlook Calendar and follow the prompts.
  3. Once connected, your calendar events will appear in Today and Upcoming within seconds.
  4. Optional: Enable Sync tasks to calendar to see your scheduled Todoist tasks in Outlook too.

Once connected, you’ll see your meetings, appointments, and that dentist visit you keep forgetting about right alongside your tasks in the Today and Upcoming views. And if you’re on a paid plan, the calendar layout becomes even more powerful – you can visualize everything together and actually time-block like a pro.

Time-blocking made simple

Here’s where it gets even better: you can reschedule tasks directly from Outlook Calendar. Drag that “Review Q3 budget” task to a different time slot, and it updates in Todoist automatically. Less app-switching, more getting things done.

Observera

For now, you can connect either Outlook or Google Calendar (not both simultaneously). As a workaround, you can subscribe to other calendars using their iCal format to display their events in your connected calendar.

Having trouble connecting? If you have a Microsoft 365 Business or Education account, your organization might have restrictions in place. We’ve put together a troubleshooting guide to help with common issues like needing admin approval or calendars not showing up after connecting.
