Jira & Microsoft Outlook
Save time swapping between different applications and streamline team collaboration using the Microsoft Outlook integration for Jira. Now, you can manage events, link upcoming meetings, and access all event details necessary to improve operations – directly in Jira. You’ll get everything you need to remain well organized without switching through endless tools.
Smooth Scheduling in One App
Manage events
Using the Microsoft Outlook integration for Jira allows quick and easy access to create and edit events directly from a Jira issue. Pre-filled fields save your team time from entering in redundant information, allowing faster scheduling. New events are automatically linked and viewable from the Jira issue. You’ll stay organized and eliminate unnecessary redundancy, so your team can focus on other critical tasks.
Keep Everyone on the Same Page
Link meetings to Jira tickets
Manually link essential meetings to Jira tickets with just a few clicks. You’ll boost collaboration with easy-to-find info on future meeting times and access to relevant topic context. This feature provides valuable historical information for retrospectives, reviews, and gives all participants clarity when needed most. The Microsoft Outlook integration works with Jira and Jira Service Management for your convenience.
Make the Details You Need Stand Out
See Outlook event details
The Microsoft Outlook integration for Jira provides critical event details directly within Jira issues. Items like event name, date, time, participants, participants’ status, and more ensure that everyone on your team is synchronized with current event parameters and future changes. No more toggling between numerous tools when everything is clearly presented through the app.

FAQ
Can everyone in our Jira instance access my linked events?
A user’s Microsoft account needs to have access to the event’s calendar to be able to see the linked events.
If I unlink an event from Jira, will it also delete it from Microsoft Outlook?
Unlinking an event won’t automatically delete it from Microsoft Outlook. If you have the right permissions in the event’s calendar, you will have the option to delete the event while unlinking it. If you don’t delete the event, it will remain in Microsoft Outlook but will stop appearing in the issue.
Can I edit other people’s events?
You can only edit events of calendars that your Microsoft account has edit permissions for.
Where is the integration’s data stored?
Links are stored in issue properties. See the Stored Data section of our Security Statement page for more information.
Where are my linked events stored?
Your events remain in Outlook. Connectors for Jira only stores a link between your events and your Jira issues.
