Connect Outlook Calendar
By connecting your Outlook Calendar, Sally can automatically access your meetings (with the required permissions) and appear without needing a separate invitation. After the integration is successful, you will see all your scheduled events directly in the Sally platform.
Sally supports both Exchange Online (Microsoft 365, cloud-based) and Exchange On-Premise (local server environments).
- Exchange Online: Connect with your Microsoft account - quick and easy for Microsoft 365 users.
- Exchange On-Premise: Connect by entering your server details and credentials - for companies hosting their own Exchange server.
