Do you have two separate Outlook, Office 365, Microsoft Teams, or Exchange accounts in the same or different tenants? Or do you want to share your calendar with someone else from or beyond your organization? Whatever is your case, you can use SyncPenguin to create and start a cloud sync between two Office 365 or Exchange on-premises calendars in less than 5 minutes. This article explains in steps how to do it. Additionally, we explain how to migrate any already existing meetings from one calendar to another.
The sync allows a variety of connection combinations and scenarios, including between different Exchange domains or Office 365 tenants, shared mailbox, public folders, etc. You can sync records between pairs of accounts, from all accounts to a single shared one, or arrange any other custom sync behavior. Feel free to contact us to discuss the best solution for your use case.
Note that apart from Office 365 the service can sync with multiple Exchange EWS-based services, including:
The first step is to sign up and log in to the SyncPenguin Dashboard. That's the place where you create, monitor, and manage your synchronizations.
The next step is to create the sync. To do this, go to the Synchronizations section of the dashboard and click the 'New sync' button (plus icon). You'll see a wizard page, where you need to follow the following three steps:
Great! You are almost there. The next step is to grant SyncPenguin access to both of your calendars in Access & Settings sections that you'll see on the sync page. To do that, expand the access panel, click the 'CONNECT' button and authenticate your Office 365 account through OAuth.
In case you want to sync to an Exchange on-premise server, you cannot sign in like that. Instead, you should enter Endpoint URL, Username (which should just be your email in most cases), and Password fields directly manually. You can always contact us if you're not sure how to connect!
Below we provide more details on how to connect both Office 365 and Exchange accounts.

After the initial merge is done, the sync will be automatically triggered from time to time (you can configure the interval) to check for updates.
Our Microsoft 365/Exchange calendar sync provides two pre-built field mappings:
You can choose between the two provided mappings in the 'Field mapping & rules' section on the sync page.
You can also create your own custom mapping with our no-code visual programming interface. To do that, just click the 'Customize' button. If you have any questions, check out our customizations guide or feel free contact us for help.
So there you have it. That how simple it is. If you have any questions, visit our website or feel free to contact us directly.
