The Integration Framework

The n8n Microsoft Outlook integration works through a secure API connection that enables bidirectional data flow between your Outlook account and other systems:

• Authentication: Connect securely using OAuth 2.0 credentials
• Triggers: Set up workflows that activate based on new emails, calendar invites, or task assignments
• Actions: Configure automated responses like creating calendar events, forwarding emails, or syncing contacts
• Conditional Logic: Add sophisticated rules to process emails based on sender, content, or attachments
• Data Mapping: Transform information between Outlook and other systems in your workflow

This technical architecture enables you to build sophisticated automation workflows without writing code, giving business users the power to design and implement their own communication processes.
