Automate the calendar sync from MIS to AD for education

Hi Community,

 

One of our customer raised the below query:

 

We are assisting many of our clients with their SDS configuration, in building solutions for our clients many are asking that

 

1. Is there a way of taking events and other calendar items automatically from their MIS to their staff calendars such as,

 

• Add school timetable to staff/students Outlook calendars from SIMs

• Add school events to staff Outlook calendars from SIMs We need assistance to see if a way within SDS or another way to pull that information in to office 365.

 

Any guidance would be of great help!

 

Many thanks in advance!

  • Newlife We don’t have a solution for this in the product today, but like I mentioned you could create a custom solution using the APIs and there might be 3rd party apps that can help with something like this.

  • Hi there,

    SDS does not help with this, but you could look into creating a custom solution using the Graph APIs.

    Sincerely,

    Magnus
