Recurring Appointments for Office 365
For those users who have activated the Office 365 Calendar integration, we now support syncing Recurring Appointments from Outlook to Pipeliner. These recurring events will be synced into Pipeliner as a new activity type “Recurring Appointment” which will be read-only ⤵
All amendments to the event need to be done in Outlook. We’ve made it easy to do this by linking to “your calendar” directly from the open Recurring Appointment in Pipeliner ⤵
Future appointments in the series are visible in Pipeliner using the Calendar view or in the Agenda panel. If you’re using the List View or a Report, you’ll see the next Recurring Appointment and the following one only. This is by design so that lists and reports are not cluttered by future recurring appointments.
It is not currently possible to create Recurring Appointments directly in Pipeliner.
