Hello,
Great to hear that you're looking to automate the synchronization of dates from a spreadsheet to your Outlook calendar. Here's a step-by-step guide on how you can do it:
➡️ Step 1: Install an automation software – I recommend using Microsoft Flow, which is now known as Power Automate. It's a Microsoft product that integrates well with both Excel and Outlook.
➡️ Step 2: Create a new automation flow – Once you've signed in to Power Automate, click on 'Create' and then choose 'Automated Flow'.
➡️ Step 3: Set up the trigger – The trigger will be changes in your Excel spreadsheet. So, select 'When a new row is added' as the trigger and specify the location of your spreadsheet.
➡️ Step 4: Add an action – Now you'll need to add the action that follows the trigger. Choose 'Create event (V2)' under the Outlook actions and fill in the necessary details like calendar id, subject, start time, end time, etc., with the corresponding columns of your Excel sheet.
➡️ Step 5: Save and test – After setting everything up, make sure to save your flow and test it to ensure everything works smoothly.
📶 Remember, any updates in the spreadsheet will now automatically create a new event in your Outlook calendar, and you'll receive a notification for the same.
🚶‍♂️ As far as legal aspects are concerned, there are no specific labor laws in India that prevent the use of such automation tools. However, just ensure that any personal data being used is handled as per the provisions of the IT Act, 2000, and the Personal Data Protection Bill, 2019.
I hope this solution suits your needs. It will definitely save you a lot of time and ensure you never miss any important dates. Happy automating! 😊
