Scheduling meetings can feel like a juggling act. You have to keep track of calendars, visitor details, and room availability all at once. One error and someone gets missed, a room ends up double-booked, or the wrong space is reserved for the wrong team.
With Envoy for Outlook, you can manage guest invites, meeting locations, and even desk bookings right from the toolbar you already use. When the right systems work together, meetings run smoother and your team can focus on the work that actually matters.
Schedule meetings and book rooms right from Outlook
Once the Envoy for Outlook extension is installed, creating a meeting is straightforward. You can invite external guests, schedule yourself in the office, and book a desk—all from the same window.
Here’s how it works:
- Create a new meeting in Outlook.
- Choose who to invite—everyone on the thread or select individuals.
- Click the Envoy icon in your toolbar.
- Select the visit location and visitor type. Envoy will pre-populate fields based on your settings to make setup faster.
- Hit “Create invite” to log guest details in Envoy.
Everything syncs automatically with Envoy—no extra tabs, no duplicate entries.

With automated guest tracking and room management, teams can avoid conflicts and wasted time, ensuring meetings start on time and resources are used efficiently.
Keep every meeting and guest record in sync
Once your meeting is scheduled, Envoy automatically captures guest details, so your team always knows who’s expected onsite. Outlook still handles attendee responses and room bookings, while Envoy makes check-ins smoother by logging visitor info in one place.

All room reservations sync automatically, so your Outlook calendar and Envoy dashboard always reflect the latest availability.
