Connect your Outlook calendar

A connected calendar keeps your real availability in HubSpot, lets prospects book time with you through a meeting link, and logs appointments on the contact record so the team can see what is scheduled.

Tip

Add buffer time between meetings in your scheduling settings. Fifteen minutes gives you room to log notes and create the next follow-up task right after an appointment.

Privacy note

HubSpot reads busy or free times to avoid double booking. Keep personal appointments marked as Private in Outlook so their details are never shown.
