Can LimeSurvey be integrated with Outlook? was created by BKilinc
Basically as the title states. Is it possible to integrate LimeSurvey with Outlook scheduler?
The idea is that, when respondents are choosing an event-date (radiobuttons, making a single choice out of four possible event-dates), the chosen event-date will be automatically scheduled in Outlook after the respondent has submitted the survey. This purpetuates the idea that a link exists between LimeSurvey and Microsoft Outlook. But I'm not sure if this is currently possible with LimeSurvey. I've found similar topics/questions on this, spanning from 9-12 years ago. Therefore, I'm not entirely sure if the possibility for an integration between LimeSurvey and Outlook is still excluded or not.
Further clarity would be very appreciated.

This very much depends on the Outlook scheduler works. E.g. you could use the Limesurvey endurl to pass the date to another tool (in your case Outlook). But can Outlook work with this?

When you want to schedule something like you want to do the server part is often Microsoft Exchange hosting the calendar. OnPremise or Microsoft 365. With Microsoft 365 there are other ways to schedule tasks or appointments as well.
There is currently no integration creating calendar entries via LimeSurvey into Exchange.
I recommend to explain a bit what your IT infrastructure looks like. If you're on M365 take a look at PowerAutomate. You might can read emails from LimeSurvey (admin notifications) with date/time date and schedule them in Exchange. It's something like some have done with Zapier.

Which Outlook? We all have a different understanding what Outlook is. To many it's the software installed on out computers. It can be Outlook.com the webbased client.The idea is that, when respondents are choosing an event-date (radiobuttons, making a single choice out of four possible event-dates), the chosen event-date will be automatically scheduled in Outlook after the respondent has submitted the survey.
