Outlook integration

One Microsoft sign-in gives your assistant both halves of the working day: the mailbox and the calendar. It can answer from a thread, write the reply, find the meeting, create one — and it is the only integration here that can move an existing meeting rather than cancelling it.

Connecting Outlook

Open the assistant and choose Outlook

The integrations list is in the assistant's tools section. Outlook sits next to Gmail and the calendars.

Sign in with Microsoft

You are redirected to Microsoft's authorisation page. Sign in with the account whose mail and calendar you want used, and grant the permissions it asks for.

Set the three search tools

Find emails, get email and find calendar events. This is the read-only configuration, and it is the one to start from — you will learn more from a week of it than from any amount of planning.

Then decide what it may change

Send and reply are the ones that reach other people. Delete email and delete calendar event are the ones with no undo. Turn them on deliberately, one at a time, not as a group.

Test both halves in the Playground

Ask it what is on your calendar this week, then ask it to move one of the events an hour later. Check Outlook. That single test exercises the read and the edit path at once.

Why the working day is two applications

The answer is in mail, the consequence is in the calendar

Almost every real request is both: reply to them, and put the follow-up in the diary. Two windows, two contexts, and the second half is the one that gets forgotten.

Rescheduling is the most common request and the worst handled

Meetings move constantly. Most automation can only create and delete, which turns a five-second change into cancel, apologise, rebook, and hope nobody noticed.

Nobody can find the thread from three weeks ago

The detail that settles the question exists. It is in a message from someone whose surname you half remember, in a month you are not sure about.

Giving an AI your mailbox is not a small decision

Mail and calendar together are most of what a company knows about itself. Any tool that asks for both at once, with no way to grant less, is asking for too much.

Nine switches, mail and calendar side by side

Outlook is the broadest integration in Mingleego, because Microsoft puts mail and calendar behind one account and so does this. One authorisation, nine tools, and every one of them is a switch you set yourself. The reading half is three tools: find emails by sender, subject, keyword or date range; pull one message in full; and find calendar events, past or upcoming. An assistant with only these is genuinely useful and completely harmless — it answers questions about your mail and your week and cannot change a thing. The acting half is six: send, reply and delete on the mail side; create, edit and delete on the calendar side. Edit is the interesting one. Nowhere else in Mingleego can an assistant change a calendar event that already exists — the Google Calendar integrations can create, cancel and read availability, but moving a booking means cancelling it and making a new one. With Outlook, "push tomorrow's review to Thursday at four" is one action on the existing event, and the attendees keep the thread they already have. Connecting is Microsoft's own sign-in. No app registration, no keys, no admin console — you approve mail and calendar access and you are done.

What one connection covers

Reply and schedule in one instruction

"Tell them the proposal is confirmed and put a follow-up in for next Tuesday at eleven." Both halves, one sentence, no window switching.

Moving a meeting properly

The review shifts to Thursday. The existing event moves, the attendees stay attached, and nobody gets a cancellation followed by a new invitation.

Finding the thread that settles it

What did we actually quote them in March. The assistant searches, reads and answers, instead of handing you a list to read yourself.

Mail and diary from the website chat

Your team asks the assistant on any channel; it acts on the connected Outlook account rather than on whoever's laptop is open.

With the CRM attached

With HubSpot or Bitrix24 connected too, the same conversation can find the contact, send the mail and record what was agreed.

Replies grounded in your documents

With document search on, the reply is written from your own files rather than from the model's general knowledge.

The nine tools

Find emails

Searches by sender, subject, keywords or date range — the way you would search yourself, except the assistant then reads the results and answers the actual question.

Get email

Pulls one specific message in full, for when the answer depends on exactly what was written rather than on the gist of it.

Send and reply

Composes a new message, or answers inside an existing thread so the history stays in one place for whoever picks it up next.

Find calendar events

Searches upcoming and past events, which is what turns "what do I have on Thursday" and "when did we last meet them" into one-line questions.

Edit a calendar event

Changes the title, the time or the attendees of an event that already exists. The only tool of its kind in the product — everywhere else, moving a meeting means cancelling and rebooking it.

Create and delete events

Puts the follow-up in the diary in the conversation that produced it, and clears events that are no longer happening. Delete is a separate switch, and it has no undo.

Before you connect a Microsoft account

Yes. Outlook has an edit tool for calendar events. Google Calendar (Business) can create and cancel a booking but its rules state outright that it must not offer to change one, and Google Calendar (Classic) has create, read, availability and delete with no edit. If rescheduling matters to you, that is the deciding difference.

One sign-in for the whole working day

Start with the three read-only tools, spend a week asking your assistant about your mail and your calendar, then decide what it should be allowed to change.
