How to connect Outlook Calendar with Sally AI

Once your Outlook Calendar is connected, Sally can read your meetings and, with automated meeting attendance, join them without a separate invitation.

After a successful integration, all your scheduled meetings show up directly in Sally.

The integration list holds four entries for this:

• Outlook Calendar (Microsoft 365 / Exchange Online) for work, school and university accounts managed through Microsoft 365.
• Outlook Calendar (Personal Microsoft Account / Exchange Online) for private Microsoft accounts such as Outlook.com, Hotmail, or Live.
• Outlook Calendar (Exchange On-Premise) for organizations running their own Exchange server, connected over EWS with your server details.
• Microsoft 365 Rooms for the room calendars in your Microsoft 365 tenant. You sign in with the Microsoft account that holds the rooms.

1. Connect Outlook Calendar (Microsoft 365 / Exchange Online)

Info

Here you sign in with a work, school, or university account (Microsoft 365 / Azure AD). This option is intended for organizational environments where Outlook is managed through Microsoft 365.

1. Open Settings at the bottom of the left sidebar.

Figure 1: Open Settings

2. Under Configuration, select Integrations and click Discover integrations.

5. Sign in with your work, school, or university account and grant the required permissions.

Info

When connecting an Outlook calendar for the first time, an admin login is required to approve the Sally app for the tenant. After that, everyone else connects their calendar normally.

Grant admin consent for the whole organization

If you are a Microsoft 365 administrator, you can approve the required OAuth permissions for your entire organization once. After that, individual users no longer have to confirm the consent screen when connecting this integration.

Grant admin consentYou need to be signed in as a Microsoft 365 Global Administrator. The consent is granted tenant-wide and can be revoked at any time via Entra ID (Azure AD). Admin consent does not give Sally any automatic access to user data: each user still has to connect the integration individually, and an access token is only issued after that user signs in.

6. (Optional) Open the Calendars tab of the connected integration. Under Sync settings you get two toggles:
   • Sync private appointments: enable it if you want Sally to sync your private appointments as well.
   • Only sync online meetings: enable it if you only want to sync appointments that carry an online meeting link, for example Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, or Zoom.

Below that, Synced calendars lists every calendar you have access to, and Last synced tells you when Sally last fetched the appointments. Your main calendar is marked as Primary calendar, and you can add further calendars one by one. Up to five calendars can be synchronized in parallel per connection. Use Disconnect in the top right corner to remove the integration again.

Synchronization may take a few minutes. If nothing shows up yet, reload Sally.

1.1 Technical OAuth permissions for work accounts (Microsoft 365 / Azure AD)

For the integration with Outlook Calendar (Microsoft 365 / Exchange Online), Sally uses OAuth 2.0 for authorization.
The following scopes define which areas Sally may access on behalf of the signed-in user.

Disclaimer

1. Sally only reads this information to technically establish and maintain the connection to the user account.

2. Sally does not perform any independent changes. Actions are only executed based on explicit user interaction.

3. API endpoints are only called within the context of an active action triggered by the user within the platform.

3. Connect Outlook Calendar (Exchange On-Premise)

For this connection, Sally reaches your Exchange server from the outside. So check with your IT beforehand whether Sally's fixed IP addresses are allowed through the firewall.

1. Open Settings at the bottom of the left sidebar.

Figure 13: Open Settings

2. Under Configuration, select Integrations and click Discover integrations.

Figure 14: Discover integrations

3. Pick Outlook Calendar (Exchange On-Premise) from the Calendar section of the list.

Figure 15: Select Outlook Calendar for Exchange On-Premise

4. Click Connect in the bottom right corner of the panel.

Figure 16: Start the connection

5. The Connect Exchange Server dialog asks for the details of the EWS connection. Fill them in and click Connect:
   • Username, either as domain\user or as user@domain.com
   • Password
   • EWS service URL
   • Exchange version, preset to Exchange2016

Figure 17: Enter the server details

Example: EWS service URL

An EWS service URL often looks like this: https://mail.yourcompany.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx

You usually receive this information from your internal IT department.

6. (Optional) Open the Calendars tab of the connected integration. There you decide with Sync private appointments and Only sync online meetings what Sally picks up, and you add individual calendars under Synced calendars. Up to five calendars can be synchronized in parallel per connection.

Figure 18: Set up the synchronization for your own Exchange server

7. Once connected, your Outlook On-Premise appointments appear in Sally.

Figure 19: Your appointments appear in Sally

Info

Synchronization may take a few minutes. If nothing shows up yet, reload Sally.

3.1 Which IP addresses does Sally use to reach your Exchange server?

Sally reaches your Exchange server exclusively from the following three fixed IPv4 addresses. For the connection to work, they need to be allowed in your firewall.

Address	What it is used for
167.233.210.254	Setting up the connection and configuring the integration
167.235.234.62	Setting up the connection and configuring the integration
46.225.144.3	The ongoing calendar sync

Allow all three, then both the setup and the ongoing sync work. Access runs over HTTPS on port 443 to your EWS endpoint.

The addresses stay the same

Sally runs on its own infrastructure in Germany, in the Falkenstein data centre operated by Hetzner. The three addresses are static and do not change, so you can allow them in your firewall permanently.

4. Connect Microsoft 365 Rooms

In addition to personal calendars, Sally can also sync Microsoft 365 room calendars. This is useful if you regularly book meeting rooms and want Sally to automatically pick up appointments scheduled in those rooms.

Who has to sign in here

Room calendars belong to the Microsoft account that holds the rooms, usually an account with superadmin rights. For Sally to get the room information, that account has to sign in inside your Sally account.

The superadmin either does that at your account directly, or they impersonate you and set the connection up for you.

One sign-in does not cover everyone: every member who wants to see room appointments in Sally connects the room calendars individually, with the same Microsoft account.

Info

Room calendars are loaded directly from your Microsoft 365 tenant. Up to 5 rooms can be synchronized in parallel per connection. Admin consent for the Sally app in your tenant is part of the setup.

1. Open Settings at the bottom of the left sidebar.

Figure 20: Open Settings

2. Under Configuration, select Integrations and click Discover integrations.

Figure 21: Discover integrations

3. Pick Microsoft 365 Rooms from the Calendar section of the list.

Figure 22: Select Microsoft 365 Rooms

4. Click Connect in the bottom right corner of the panel and sign in with the Microsoft account that holds the rooms. Grant the required permissions there so Sally may read the room mailboxes.

Figure 23: Start the connection

5. Open the Calendars tab of the connected integration. Under Configure room calendars you get every room in your tenant with its mailbox and the number of seats. Switch on Active for each room whose appointments Sally should pick up. Search rooms helps you find a specific one, and up to five rooms can be synchronized in parallel per connection.

Figure 24: Activate rooms for the synchronization

The tenant the connection belongs to sits at the top of the section, and Disconnect removes it again.

6. The activated room calendars are synchronized and their appointments appear in Sally just like personal calendar events.

Figure 25: The room appointments appear in Sally

4.1 Technical Microsoft Graph permissions for room calendars

Connecting room calendars requires extended Application Permissions on Microsoft Graph. These are granted once by a Microsoft 365 tenant administrator via Admin Consent.

Disclaimer

Read-only: Sally never writes back into the room calendars, neither appointments, attendees, nor locations.

Consent: Granted once by a Microsoft 365 tenant administrator via Admin Consent. The connection itself is created by each member in their own account, after which token refresh and webhook reconciliation run fully automatically.

Application permissions on Microsoft Graph

Permission	What Sally needs it for
Calendars.Read	Read all appointments in the connected room mailboxes, including hybrid meetings (on-site + remote) and meetings where no Sally user is invited. Updates and cancellations are propagated via Microsoft Graph webhooks within seconds.
Place.Read.All	List the available rooms of the tenant from the Places Directory (/places/microsoft.graph.room), so the rooms to synchronize can be picked in Sally with a switch.

Once connected, you can set whether and when Sally should automatically join your meetings.
