Microsoft Outlook Event API Slack Bot

The repository includes a Python-based Slack Bot for MS Outlook events.

Functionality

The application allows accessing shared calendars of a user and reading the corresponding weekly events via Microsoft API calls. In the next step, it is possible to send this event in the form of a Slack message to a connected Slack channel.

Installation

pip install outlook-event-slack-bot
