Outlook Calendar Integration for HR Teams on Microsoft 365

If your company lives in Outlook, that is where people check before they send an invite. Connect Outlook Calendar to Niyuk and leave, interviews, holidays and room bookings are already there, so the calendar people trust is also the one that is right.

Your Team Plans Its Week in Outlook Calendar

Ask anyone in a Microsoft 365 company how they check whether a colleague is free, and the answer is the scheduling view in Outlook. The trouble is that Outlook only knows what someone typed into it. Leave approved in the HR system, a holiday announced by email or an interview set up by a recruiter often never gets there.

Niyuk's Outlook Calendar integration sends those dates across for you. Approve a request or book a slot in Niyuk, and the event shows up in Outlook for the people involved, with nothing to forward and nothing to retype.

Capabilities

Key Features of Niyuk Outlook Calendar Integration

Leave shows up once approved

Approved time off appears in the employee's Outlook calendar, so a colleague checking availability sees it straight away.

Interviews in the panel's Outlook

Each interviewer gets the slot in their calendar with the candidate's name, without the recruiter sending invites one by one.

The holiday list, in every calendar

Set the year's holidays in Niyuk and they appear for everyone, instead of living in a PDF on the intranet.

Meeting rooms booked in one place

A room confirmed in Niyuk is added to Outlook, so the meeting and the room never end up booked separately.

A new joiner's first week, planned

Induction, IT setup and team introductions are in the new joiner's calendar from their first login.

Who is out, at a glance

Managers see their team's leave in the calendar they already have open, not in a separate report.

Moves and cancellations carry over

Cancel leave or move an interview in Niyuk and the Outlook event is updated to match.
