What parameters can i used to the command of "outlookcal:"

congmu li 1

I want to use the function of add event in outlook calendar through command line. So I use this command:

start outlookcal:addevent?start=xxx&end=xxx&subject=xxx

Through this command, I open the add new event page directly with start time, end time and the subject. But I have not found the arguments to specify the descriptions of the event.

I have used "body", "message", "descriptions", "content" and others. But these all don't work. I really want to know the arguments to specify the description of the event.

Hi @congmu li ,

Welcome to our forum!

Based on my test, the command you provided can open windows calendar. Please kindly understand that the Outlook tag here we mainly focus on general issues about Outlook desktop client. If you want to add new event in Windows Calendar, it's suggested that you could post your case in dedicated forum for windows for more professional advice.

Thanks for your understanding and hope your issue would be resolved soon!

Hi,

I am trying to launch outlook calendar using below link which allows me to pass the 'body' parameter, but the problem here is I want to launch it as outlook app instead of browser.

So, can you please tell me if I can launch this following link in outlook app instead of browser?

https://outlook.office.com/calendar/0/deeplink/compose?subject=Hello&body=content
