Get Outlook calendar events

Add the action

Connect Microsoft Outlook

If you haven’t already, connect your Microsoft Outlook account to Cassidy by clicking Connect and following the on-screen instructions.

Rename the action (optional)

Click the action name to enter a more descriptive label, making it easier to reference later.

Configure filters (optional)

Use Filters to narrow which events are returned. You can filter by:

• Start time — specify when events should begin
• End time — specify when events should end
• Subject — filter events by title or subject keywords
• Created date — filter by when the event was created
• Last modified — filter by when the event was last updated

For each row, choose an operator (for example, “Equals” or “Contains”), then enter a value or press # to reference a variable. Click Delete to remove a filter.

Time-based fields are typically handled in UTC, so keep your time format consistent when filtering.

Configure order by (optional)

Determine the order of results by selecting a field to sort by and choosing the sort direction (ascending or descending).

Set max results (optional)

Specify the maximum number of results to return. This helps manage performance and limits the output to a specific number of events.

Toggle include recurring (optional)

Choose whether to include recurring events in the results. When enabled, the action returns both one-time and recurring calendar events.

Reference the event variables

After running the Workflow once, use the action outputs in later steps by pressing # and selecting fields from the event list. Available variables:

• Event ID — unique identifier of the calendar event
• Title — title or subject of the calendar event
• Description — description or body content of the calendar event
• Created Date — when the calendar event was created
• Updated Date — when the calendar event was last modified
• Calendar Event Link — direct link to view the event in Outlook
• Start Date — start date and time of the event
• End Date — end date and time of the event
• Time Zone — time zone for the event
• Is All Day — whether the event is an all-day event
• Is Online Meeting — whether the event includes an online meeting
• Join URL — meeting link if it’s an online meeting
• Location — physical location of the event
• Organizer — details about who organized the event (name and email)
• Attendees — list of people invited to the event

Use a Loop to process events

Because this action returns a list, add a Loop after it when you want to run follow-up steps once per event. Learn more about using Loops.
