SIA can send candidate emails from your Outlook address and book interviews on your calendar with a Microsoft Teams link attached automatically — without you switching between tools. ### Connecting Outlook

1. In Chat, open **Connectors** from the sidebar 2. Find the **Outlook** card and click **Connect Outlook** 3. A Microsoft sign-in tab opens — sign in with your Microsoft 365 account 4. Review the permissions listed — this single approval covers both mail and calendar access, which is why Outlook is one card instead of two — and click **Allow** 5. You're redirected back to Chat and the card now reads **Connected** {% hint style="warning" %} **Note:** Outlook is its own connection, separate from Microsoft Teams — connecting one does not grant the other. {% endhint %} ### What you can do once connected Once Outlook is connected, SIA can handle both the email and scheduling side of running an interview: * **Send candidate emails from your Outlook address** — with cc/bcc, and the option to save as a draft instead of sending right away * **See your real schedule and find free slots** — within your working hours, rather than proposing a time that conflicts with something else * **Book an interview with a Teams link attached, and email the invite** — all in one step * **Cancel a booking and notify everyone invited** — if a call needs to be moved or called off ### Try it in chat * "Am I free Thursday afternoon? Book 45 minutes with this candidate and send the invite." * "Email this candidate the interview details from my Outlook." * "Cancel the 3pm interview and let them know."

### A few things to note * **Reading a candidate's emailed attachments isn't available through Outlook yet.** If a candidate sent in a take-home assignment or portfolio as an email attachment and you need SIA to read it, that capability is currently available through Gmail only. * **Nothing is sent or booked without your approval.** SIA shows you the drafted email or proposed time before anything goes out or lands on a calendar. ### Disconnecting Outlook 1. Go to **Connectors** in the sidebar 2. On the Outlook card, click **Disconnect** Since email and calendar access were granted together, this removes both in one step. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
