How to connect Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook
- Step 1: Create a new workflow
- Step 2: Add and configure nodes
- Step 3: Connect
- Step 4: Customize and extend your integration
- Step 5: Test and activate your workflow
Step 1: Create a new workflow and add the first step
In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.
Step 2: Add and configure Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook nodes
You can find Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook in the nodes panel. Drag them onto your workflow canvas, selecting their actions. Click each node, choose a credential, and authenticate to grant n8n access. Configure Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook nodes one by one: input data on the left, parameters in the middle, and output data on the right.
Step 3: Connect Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook
A connection establishes a link between Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook (or vice versa) to route data through the workflow. Data flows from the output of one node to the input of another. You can have single or multiple connections for each node.
Step 4: Customize and extend your Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook integration
Use n8n's core nodes such as If, Split Out, Merge, and others to transform and manipulate data. Write custom JavaScript or Python in the Code node and run it as a step in your workflow. Connect Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook with any of n8n’s 1000+ integrations, and incorporate advanced AI logic into your workflows.
Step 5: Test and activate your Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook workflow
Save and run the workflow to see if everything works as expected. Based on your configuration, data should flow from Google Calendar to Microsoft Outlook or vice versa. Easily debug your workflow: you can check past executions to isolate and fix the mistake. Once you've tested everything, make sure to save your workflow and activate it.

Sync Google Calendar Events to Outlook
What this workflow does
This workflow is used as a bridge between your private Google Calendar to your Work Outlook Calendar. The same mentality can be used with other calendar types.
Description
Send a copy of a Google Calendar event to your Outlook work account as a reminder to yourself or co-workers that you are booked for private matters like "Dentist appointment", "Taking kids to Disney Land" etc.
How it works
Create event
-- You create a Google Calendar event.
-- A trigger in n8n reacts and collects the event info.
-- An Outlook event is created with the same information in your Outlook Calendar.
Cancel
-- You cancel an event in Google Calendar
-- A trigger in n8n reacts and collects the canceled event info.
-- Using the Outlook node to getAll events searches for the event in your Outlook Calendar.
-- If the event is found it is then deleted.
-- An email with the details of the cancelation is then sent to your Outook e-mail address.
The n8n Merge node is used to combine results from two different nodes that are necessary to create the cancelled event e-mail notification.
Important notice
Make sure you use a dedicated Google Calendar for private events that will be displayed in your work Outlook calendar in order to avoid displaying unwanted calendar events that you do not wish to share with your co-workers.
