How to connect Remute with Outlook

For teams that live in Microsoft 365: the assistant offers only the times your Outlook calendar has free and writes each booking back as an event.

Coming soon. This integration is not available yet. The page describes how it is meant to work once it is confirmed with a real account.

What it does

While answering, Remute asks your Outlook calendar which times are busy and never offers one of them. The caller picks from what is really free.

Appointments booked by phone, in the panel or through the API appear in your Outlook calendar within about a minute, and moving or cancelling them in Remute updates or removes the event.

Use cases

  • A law firm on Microsoft 365

    Consultations are offered only when the lawyer's Outlook calendar is free, and each one lands as an event the lawyer already knows how to read.

  • A practice with a shared mailbox

    Point appointments to the shared calendar and reception sees every booking without opening another tool.

  • A company that cannot use Google

    If your organisation standardises on Microsoft, calendar booking works without adding a Google account.
