Features
Send Email with Outlook
The Send Email with Outlook action allows you to send an email from your own Outlook account. You can add formatting to the body of the email with HTML. To send to multiple recipients in any field, separate each email address with a comma and a space (ex: alma@heyglide.com, terrence@heyglide.com).

Add Event to Outlook calendar
The Add Event to Outlook calendar action allows you to add an event to your Outlook calendar. If you don't specify a calendar ID, Glide will create the event on your primary calendar.
| Field | Description | Required? |
|---|---|---|
| Event Title | Name for event | ✅ |
| Location | Physical location or meeting link | ❌ |
| Description | Topic of meeting | ❌ |
| Start date | Start date and time | ✅ |
| Duration | Length in minutes | ✅ |
| Attendees | Who is invited | ❌ |
| Calendar ID | Calendar to create event on | ❌ |
Notes
The action can be added to a component that supports actions (e.g., a button), added to an action sequence in the Action Editor, or after a form is submitted.
You can create a dynamic event by first creating a Template column in the Data Editor and then setting that column as one of your action’s fields.
