How do I set up an integration between Harvest and Microsoft Outlook?
To integrate Harvest with Microsoft Outlook, you need to use a third-party tool like Zapier. You can create a 'Zap' that connects these two platforms. Triggers in Outlook, such as receiving an email or scheduling an event, can lead to actions in Harvest, like creating a new time entry or task.

When integrating Harvest with Microsoft Outlook, available triggers include receiving a new email, adding a new contact, or scheduling an event in your calendar. These triggers can be used to automate actions in Harvest.
What kind of actions can be automated in Harvest using Microsoft Outlook triggers?
Outlook triggers such as calendar events or received emails can automate actions like creating timesheet entries or generating new projects in Harvest. This streamlines workflow by reducing manual data entry.
Can I automatically log time in Harvest when a meeting is scheduled in Outlook?
Yes, by setting up the appropriate trigger-action workflow. When an event is scheduled on the Outlook calendar, you can create a corresponding time entry automatically in Harvest.
