The calendar integration provides a user the ability to review their upcoming meetings, check their diary over the day, week or month, and create new calendar meetings as required.
The outlook integration provides a user the ability to send emails from AdviceOS using the standard ‘Send Email’ dialog, an email record will be created in AdviceOS, however your client will receive this email from your outlook address.
