Connect Outlook Calendar

By connecting your Outlook Calendar, Sally can automatically access your meetings (with the required permissions) and join them without needing a separate invitation.

After a successful integration, you will see all your scheduled meetings directly in the Sally platform.

Sally supports both Exchange Online (Microsoft 365, cloud-based) and Exchange On-Premise (local server environments).

• Exchange Online: Sign in with your Microsoft account – quick and easy for Microsoft 365 users.
• Exchange On-Premise: Connect by entering your server information and login credentials – for organizations running their own Exchange server.
