How to add planner task to Outlook calendar?

Hey CL,

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, the 24 hrs didnt do the trick for me, and it looks like so far the only way I know how to get the planner items in Teams onto Outlooks calendar is to copy and paste the URL every day. This pretty much takes away its utility. This has to work somehow though as these are all part of the same ecosystem! So frustrating!

I believe that you have to do this manually everytime your planner changes however. I have updated my planner, and the the tasks do not auto -sync to my outlook calendar. Is there a way to get this to auto-sync. Otherwise, this is of no use unfortunately.

Thanks!

I am having the same issue...I have added the calendar, but when I made a change it didn't update on the calendar. It has been over an hour at this point....

Will this automatically update? Is there something I can do to make it update?

Dear Jaap Santifort,

Good day to you!

I hope you are doing well. Thanks for reaching out to our Microsoft Community Forum. We will be happy to help you.

Based on your description, I tested this on my end and successfully located the "Add plan to Outlook calendar" option in the Planner app within Microsoft Teams. This feature allows users to sync tasks from a specific Planner plan with their Outlook calendar, making it easier to manage schedules and deadlines.

Here’s the navigation I followed to find the option:

1. Open the Planner app within Microsoft Teams.
   • Ensure that you are logged into Teams and have access to the Planner app.
2. Click on My Plan to view your list of plans.
3. Select the specific Plan you want to sync with Outlook.
4. Under the plan dropdown menu, I located the option "Add plan to Outlook calendar."
   • This option allows you to connect your plan’s schedule with Outlook, enabling visibility of tasks and deadlines in your calendar.

If you could share a screenshot of your navigation steps or the view from your side, it would help us provide more tailored guidance to address your situation.

Additionally, to better understand your scenario, I have a quick question: Are you trying to locate this option using the Teams desktop app or the browser?

I would like to acknowledge that my initial response may not resolve your current situation immediately. However, with your input and some additional specific details, we can work together to identify a clear solution for your current challenge.

I am looking forward to your response for further assistance.

Thank you for your understanding. Your cooperation and contributions are greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Nahid Sultan

Hello Nahid,

Thanks for the information!
Ik did exactly what you told me. See my screenshot (in Dutch). I am using Teams desktop app.

Do I need to copy the iCalendar link and proces it in Outlook or is this an automatic proces?
Regards, Jaap
