Hi there @Erez Marcovich ,

thank you for the question and your use case integrating Jira and Outlook. In case you're willing to work with a third party integration, this might be a solution for you. yasoon, the company I work for is developing an app to integrate Microsoft 365 and Jira, including Outlook calendars / meetings.

* Here's an overview of the Outlook meeting features: Microsoft 365 for Jira – Connect Outlook Meetings and Jira and here schedule meetings with your team from Jira
* We have built-in synchronization capabilities for calendar meetings in Outlook, enabling bi-directional syncing of events between Jira and Outlook.
* We also offer an automation feature that allows you to automate creating a meeting. You can create an Outlook meeting as an action when a new Jira issue has been raised.

You can book a demo with my team here and we can find a process for your specific use case.

The app is free for up to 10 users and you can start a 30 day free trial.

Best,
Britta
