Outlook Integration?

Support Using Plane

Hello,

We have a self-hosted Plane instance.

Is there a way to create an Automation where the action is to send a meeting invite?

My use case:

  • We have a Plane project being used to track test requests for a specific test asset
  • We have an Outlook calendar where our test asset is registered as a conference room that we have already been using
  • We want to have Plane send a meeting invite to the conference room to reserve a time slot on the Outlook calendar whenever a ticket is created or whenever the date is updated.

Thanks!
Dennis

This isn’t possible with our Automations at the moment. Also, we don’t have Outlook integration yet.
But, you could achieve this using our API and webhooks to trigger an external workflow. When a work item is created or updated, the webhook can send data to a tool like Zapier which can then create the Outlook calendar invite.

That said, Email integration is on our roadmap for this year, so this might get easier down the line.
