Basically as the subject says. I would be very grateful to hear if anyone has tried this in the past.

In x++ I would like to be able to create calendar events in Outlook and if the events in Outlook are edited somehow send the updates back to Finance and Operations.

I wanted to share an update on how I solved this.

I explored two approaches:

Writing a C# .NET Framework project and using the Microsoft Graph client.

Making direct HTTP calls from X++ to the Microsoft Graph API.

The first approach didn’t work for me because, although I managed to run the C# code and call it from X++, I couldn't use NuGet packages that aren’t already available in Finance and Operations. I followed Microsoft's documentation, and this Alex Meyer's (@alexmeyer.itguy) post (which is very similar to my approach) was also helpful, but I still hit this limitation.

On the other hand, making HTTP requests directly from X++ worked. So if you're looking to interact with Outlook Calendar, I’d recommend that approach.
