Sometimes, you can’t get away with only using one calendar. Maybe you use Microsoft Outlook for client projects but Google Calendar for your personal life. But juggling two calendars is a recipe for missed calls and appointments.

Instead, you can use a Zap—Zapier’s automated workflows—to connect your calendars so you only have to look in one spot. Keep reading to learn how to automatically copy Microsoft Calendar events to Google Calendar.

Copy Microsoft Outlook events to Google Calendar

Zapier lets you create automated workflows called Zaps, which send your information from one app to another. You can create your own Zap from scratch without any coding knowledge, but we also offer quick templates to get you started. 

If you’d like to start with a template, click on the Zap template to go to the Zap editor. You’ll need to create a Zapier account if you don’t already have one. Then, follow the directions below to set up your Zap.

Set up your Microsoft Outlook trigger

First, set up your trigger—the event that starts your Zap. If you’re using the Zap template, the trigger app and event will already be selected for you. Otherwise, search for and select Microsoft Outlook as the trigger app and New Calendar Event as the trigger event. Click Continue.

Now, it’s time to test your step. If you don’t have any events in your Outlook calendar, add a test one now—this will be used to set up the rest of your Zap. Then, click Test trigger. Zapier will pull up the latest events in your calendar. Select the one you’d like to use to set up your Zap, then click Continue with selected record.

Set up your Google Calendar action

Now it’s time to set up the action—the event your Zap will perform once it’s triggered. If you’re using the Zap template, these will already be selected for you. Otherwise, search for and select Google Calendar as your action app and Create Detailed Event as your action event. Click Continue.
