With Walls.io, you can automatically import Calendar Events from MS Outlook onto your Wall. It's easy to achieve this with our Zapier integration. This step-by-step guide explains how it's done.
🚨 Important: This integration requires access to the Walls.io API, which can be purchased as an add-on for all plans. API access is also included in our Enterprise plans and some legacy plans.
1. Sign in to Outlook
To get started, sign in to your MS Outlook account if you haven't already.
2. Enable API access for Your Wall
In Walls.io, go to Settings > API Access and activate the access token:
If you don't have a social wall yet, it's time to create one!
3. Create Your Event in Your Outlook Calendar
Open your Outlook calendar and create a new Event:
4. Sign in and Connect Your MS Outlook Account
In Zapier, start to create your "Zap" by clicking "Make a Zap" (a Zap is a kind of "recipe" that will connect two apps, in our case MS Outlook + Walls.io). Enter a name for your Zap, i.e. "Outlook Calendar Events to Walls.io". Choose Microsoft Outlook for the trigger app and "New Calendar Event" as the trigger event:
Then, choose your MS Outlook account and click "Continue". You'll have to "Sign in to MS Outlook" if this is your first Zap using MS Outlook:
5. Choose Your Calendar to watch for new events
Next, set up the trigger by selecting Calendar for the Calendar field and click "Continue":
Afterwards, click "Test trigger" and "Continue":
6. Choose "Walls.io" for the Action
Next, we're going to set up the Zapier action. Choose Walls.io for the app event and "Create Post" as the Action event:
7. Sign in to Walls.io
Afterwards, connect your Walls.io account this way:
Click "Choose an account" and then, click "Connect a new account"
You'll see a new window where you can insert the API access token of your social Wall. Copy the API access token of your Wall from step 2 and paste it into the Access Token field:
9. Setup the Action
Next, set up the Zapier action by selecting Subject: .... and Start Date Time:... for the Text field. Make sure to fill out the required User Name field with Organizer Email Address:... :👇
Select "True" for "Moderation Status" if you want to set your wall to Automatic Moderation. If you prefer to have Manual Moderation (=approve each post manually before it gets displayed on your social Wall), select "False".
10. Test your Zap and turn it on!
Finally, test your Zap and turn it on!
