How do you connect your Microsoft List with an Outlook Calendar?

This is incredibly frustrating as it should not be this complicated. I have spent hours trying to figure out a way to connect my Microsoft List into my Outlook Calendar so I can receive proper updates.

Lists allows you to create a calendar view of your list, but it does not create a calendar link. I've tried adding it as a separate calendar in Outlook, but the link is not a .ics so it will not allow it to be added.

I've also tried using Power Automate Flow to create a calendar event when a new item is added. All it does is notify a new item was added, rather than the actual contents of the item. I've even tried to have a flow create a Planner item for my list item so I can integrate the planner into Outlook.

I just don't understand why Microsoft does not provide a simple solution to add List items to an Outlook Calendar, or am I missing something?

    If this is a SharePoint list, browse to the URL for the list. Click on the Calendar tab and click the Connect to Outlook. Although this works it's not functionality that has gotten investment in a long time.

    To see the list in Outlook click that waffle like icon for More apps, then click Folders, then in the folder pane locate SharePoint Lists.

    Dear Brittni Cochran,

    Good day! Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community.

    This forum primarily focuses on the built-in features of Microsoft 365.

    While connecting Microsoft Lists with an Outlook Calendar should be achievable using Power Automate, this issue requires more resources and expertise than our forum team currently possesses. Since your question is related to the utilization of Power Automate, I sincerely recommend you post your concern to the specific channel Microsoft Power Platform Community. Members and engineers over there are proficient in the knowledge of Power Automate issues. We are sure that our experts from that team can address your query effectively and accurately.

    Thanks for your understanding and cooperation! Hope you have a nice day!

    Sincerely,
