Miracle Lin: Hi Miracle, thanks for your feedback!
While we consider adding this integration, many Akiflow users are synching Outlook with Google Calendar to see their events in Akiflow.
Here's a quick guide on how to do it: https://www.notion.so/akiflow/How-to-integrate-your-calendars-8ac247df7d8d41dfb9375c3f4194d353. 
Hope this helps!

I signed for the Trail and than noticed that you have no Outlook/Exchange integration. Sorry but I have to cancel as it makes no sense for me without Exchange.

I cannot wait to use the "meet with" feature on my Outlook calendar. What is the wait time until this is a thing? Keep up the great work!

Stefania

Ty Thomas: Hi Ty, thanks for your message! This integration is not planned yet so I don't have a date for you now. I'll keep everyone posted here:)

Outlook calendar intergration would be a game changer for Akiflow. I understand you're only a startup but if you want to grow faster, this one is a must

I am with most folks here , I hadn't realised that outlook and calendar integration wasn't a priority, seems odd to me, so I am wondering what the wonderful 'product market fit' objective is, given the size of the office 365 base...but every company must focus, just interested on what that user focus is, given that one of the core focus areas is calendar blocking as a way of managing activity!!

Stefania

Matt Atkinson: Hi Matt, adding Outlook would just increase our total addressable market, we want to focus on improving the experience (both calendar and tasklist, focusing on time blocking) for our users. I'll keep you posted about the Outlook integration, I know many people are waiting for it:)

Stefania: I suspect for many customers in this thread is that these features are either widely available in complementary apps (calendar booking link) or good enough already. Fundamentally, the main product of Akiflow, Routine, Morgen, Sunsama, Cron, etc. is integrations. Integrations completeness and depth are the differentiators and really the only reason I would pick one product over another. If two apps have the same breadth of integrations, then Akiflow would win out for me because you support Superhuman (who also prioritized and delivered Outlook). But at the moment, since many of us have accounts across Google and Outlook, Morgen is probably the logical choice.

Stefania

Mike Han: Thanks for your feedback Mike! I'll let you know when we release this integration:)

Ouch! I just subscribed and I didn't check (my fault). I kinda assumed that outlook calendars would be supported. Thankfully I'm still inside the trial period.
I hope someday Akiflow goes for it. I'll return. Aside this issue the app is so good.
Cheers!

It has been over three months since we got an update on this. I am currently using Sunsama, and I'm searching for an alternative.
Two critical things I need:
1) Todoist integration ✅
2) Outlook/Office 365/Exchange Calendar integration ❌
O365/Outlook Exchange users are too big of a market segment for Akiflow not to be giving it more priority.

Josiah Thomas: Hi Josiah, It's quite expensive to build and maintain calendar integrations. We will add it eventually, but at the stage where we are as a startup, our priority is getting to product-market fit, and building a Microsoft integration will just increase the total addressable market. Whenever we decide to start working on it, I'll notify you.

Josiah Thomas: I signed up for the trial because the one feature I really liked was how the screen was split where I could create a task and immediately drop it to the calendar. Sunsama doesn’t do that. But what I love about Sunsama is the outlook integration. I can drag and drop emails to plan out my day. If akiflow had that feature I’d be all over this. But for now I’ll stick with sunsama

Jason Barrons

I was really excited for this app, and then I learn no exchange integration. And to make it worse, I see the company has been aware of it for a while and it's not even a priority on their roadmap.

I'll have to cancel I suppose.

Jordan Simpson

Any update on this?

Rich Heidt

This is like the EASIEST integration to perform if you're using basic "calendar" principles. Why wouldn't it be a top priority to drive adoption? I ended my trial within 20 minutes, finding that the O365 integration was non-existent. Again, the EASIEST API to interact with and the most valuable for connecting more professionals...

Just signed up for a free.trial and unfortunately I have to cancel as my main client uses MS Exchange and you don't have it yed. Sad :( All the best for future.
