Suggested by Zach Smallbone – Under Review
Reinstate the syncing of resource bookings with the resource's Outlook calendar, a feature that was greatly missed when it was depreciated becuase at the moment to get an Outlook appointment we have to use a multitude of MS Flows, Workflows and JS to get an appointment record created against a booking and ensure that it is kept upto date with time changes. Sometime like this should be a basic out of the box feature for a resource scheduling system.
Status Details
Hi Zach, Thank you for your feedback!
Currently this feature is not in our short term roadmap; however, we are tracking it and if we get more feedback and votes, we may consider it in the future.
Thanks,

Hi Vinay,
We strongly support this request. Our users are absolutely excited about Universal Resource Scheduling, but this deprecated feature is a show-stopper for them to use it widely (we are talking about 1.5k users). Please consider this feature to be available as soon as possible

Hello Vinay,
I can only agree to this.
Our users would be really pleased to have a sync with their outlook calendar.
Kind regards
Anne
Our Field Service customer wants to continue using Outlook for Resource Scheduling as long as this functionality isn't available. They need all of their staff to be able to see the Bookings when creating other appointments with their FS engineers. But not all of them are able to get a licence for Dynamics.
It blows my mind that this isn't a current feature.
Does anyone have any good work arounds for notifying assignees of their assignments other than (A) the project manager creating appointment/meetings for every booking and sending it to them, or (B) the assignee having a project account and also having to log in and check the boards?
