Integrating with Outlook Calendar - Export

Users can export their schedule from ActivityTimeline to Google Outlook Calendar.

To build one's timeline into Outlook calendar, follow the steps: 

1. Navigate to My Account in ActivityTimeline → Calendar Integration tab.

2. Click on Renew Calendar Link to generate a unique iCal Datafeed URL. 

   

3. Open your Microsoft Outlook Calendar → Click on Open Calendar and select Add Calendar → From the Internet.

   

   

4. Paste the previously copied URL into the blank field and click the ‘OK’ and then 'Yes' buttons. Jira tasks and custom events scheduled on your timeline will appear in Microsoft Outlook Calendar:

   

5. The system will now send timeline data and information about custom events or scheduled work into the external calendar. JIRA tickets and custom events that are scheduled on your timeline should appear in Microsoft Outlook Calendar. 

Important Notes

• The export works per user and shares only that user’s timeline data. It is also possible to export data for the whole team under Configuration → Teams → Export to Calendar option.

• Shared Outlook calendars are not supported. Other team members who don’t use ActivityTimeline won’t see your bookings or custom events.

• If you receive the error:

  “We can’t add the calendar for right now. Try again later.” It’s usually caused by Microsoft’s Shared calendar improvements feature in Microsoft 365. To fix this, ensure that this option is turned off (unchecked).
