Using Trello with Microsoft Outlook

If you use Microsoft Outlook for Windows, you can integrate any of your Trello boards' calendars with Outlook, so you can view your calendars and your cards with due dates together in one place. Right now, Microsoft Outlook for Mac doesn't support adding iCal subscriptions.

Enable sync to Microsoft Outlook

1. Within your board, toggle the Calendar View. To access the Calendar View, make sure the board is on a Premium or Enterprise Workspace. On the top left corner of the board, you should see the View Switcher to enable the Calendar View. Click on the chevron icon, and select the option Calendar. This will enable the calendar view.

2. Select the Sync to personal calendar button in the top right corner of Calendar View. Next to URL disabled, select the 3 dot menu and click Enable.

3. Copy the URL provided by selecting Copy.

Enable sync to personal calendar option and enable URL

Note: Anyone with the iCalendar URL will be able to access your calendar, so don't post it publicly.

Open Microsoft Outlook, and click the Calendar icon in the lower left corner to open the Calendar view. Then click on Open Calendar in the ribbon.

From the dropdown list, click on From Internet...

Next, paste the iCalendar feed URL in the box, and click OK. You'll see another popup asking you to confirm adding the calendar—click Yes to confirm.

By default, Outlook will now display the Trello board calendar side-by-side with your Outlook calendar. You can click on any calendar name in the My Calendars box to enable or disable it from this view. Outlook can't pull the name of the Trello board, so any calendar you import this way will be named "Untitled."

From the My Calendars section, you can right-click on the calendar name, and click on Rename Calendar to rename it.

If you add several Trello boards, renaming them will help distinguish which board is which.

NOTE: Changes made in Trello won't instantly update to third-party applications. Outlook will try to update the calendar contents during each download interval, which is configurable within Outlook.
