Microsoft Outlook calendar

Cadence can show your Outlook or Microsoft 365 calendar as read-only context alongside your tracked time. You connect it by copying a calendar link from Outlook and pasting it into Cadence.

   Open your calendar settings

   Open the calendar. Click the gear icon (Settings) near the top right, then choose Calendar, then Shared calendars.

   Publish your calendar

   Under Publish a calendar, choose the calendar you want, set it to Can view all details, and click Publish.

   Copy the ICS link

   Two links appear. Click the one labelled ICS and copy it. It is a long web address that ends in .ics.

Step 2: paste the link into Cadence

1. 1
   Open Settings in the app

   In the Cadence desktop app, click Settings at the bottom of the left sidebar, then open the Integrations tab.
