# SIA for Outlook

Connecting Outlook is a single authorisation that covers both email and calendar. SIA can send candidate emails from your Outlook address and book interviews on your calendar with a Microsoft Teams link attached automatically — without you switching between tools.

### Connecting Outlook

1. In Chat, open [**Connectors**](https://sia.senseloaf.ai/settings/connectors) from the sidebar
2. Find the **Outlook** card and click **Connect Outlook**
3. A Microsoft sign-in tab opens — sign in with your Microsoft 365 account
4. Review the permissions listed — this single approval covers both mail and calendar access, which is why Outlook is one card instead of two — and click **Allow**
5. You're redirected back to Chat and the card now reads **Connected**

> **Warning**
>
> **Note:** Outlook is its own connection, separate from Microsoft Teams — connecting one does not grant the other.

### What you can do once connected

Once Outlook is connected, SIA can handle both the email and scheduling side of running an interview:

* **Send candidate emails from your Outlook address** — with cc/bcc, and the option to save as a draft instead of sending right away
* **See your real schedule and find free slots** — within your working hours, rather than proposing a time that conflicts with something else
* **Book an interview with a Teams link attached, and email the invite** — all in one step
* **Cancel a booking and notify everyone invited** — if a call needs to be moved or called off

### Try it in chat

```text wrap title="Check Free Slots for Meetings"
Am I free Thursday afternoon? Book 45 minutes with this candidate and send the invite.
```

```text wrap title="Draft Email"
Email this candidate the interview details from my Outlook.
```

```text wrap title="Cancel Meeting"
Cancel the 3pm interview and let them know.
```

### A few things to note

* **Reading a candidate's emailed attachments isn't available through Outlook yet.** If a candidate sent in a take-home assignment or portfolio as an email attachment and you need SIA to read it, that capability is currently available through Gmail only.
* **Nothing is sent or booked without your approval.** SIA shows you the drafted email or proposed time before anything goes out or lands on a calendar.

### Disconnecting Outlook

1. Go to [**Connectors**](https://sia.senseloaf.ai/settings/connectors) in the sidebar
2. On the Outlook card, click **Disconnect**

Since email and calendar access were granted together, this removes both in one step.
