Overview

This article explains how to sync your school's Microsoft Outlook calendar with your website so that events on your website calendar are automatically updated. 

This feature pushes the content of your Microsoft Outlook calendar to your website calendar. Any changes made to the website calendar will not be synchronised to your school's Microsoft Outlook calendar.

Prerequisites

• Your school's Microsoft Outlook calendar must be set to public.
• You will need the login details for the Microsoft Office 365 account where the Microsoft Outlook calendar is hosted to link it to your website.
• You must have a calendar page set up on your website (see Juniper Websites: Creating a Calendar View).
