Tempo timesheet Outlook calendar integration

[Jamie McCoy]

anyone know how best to link up outlook calendars and the tempo timesheet planner? two way sync so we can allow team meetings etc from outlook to block out the appropriate time in Jira

[Marielle van der Schans]

We are looking for the same solution for Outlook 2013 or higher.

[Marielle van der Schans]

Maybe we have to create a feature request at Tempo and vote for it?

[Benjamin Michiels]

I asked them to create a feature request on https://tempo-io.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/6/group/15

I'll post the answer here (if I receive one).

[Benjamin Michiels]

Here is the answer I received from their support:

This has been requested by some users already and management is already working on it. We really do not have any voting system and there isn't any way to track request but please keep on tracking our latest news page. All new features and and news come up there.

So wait and see...

I was able to set up the Outlook 365 integration today.

@nrogalskiyhow nice! 😁

I'm getting errors in the requests Jira is making after setting it up. When giving access to my Office 365 it also responded with an error.:

"code":"ERROR_MAKING_REQUEST",      "message":"Encountered an error when making a request to the calendar provider.",
"httpStatus":404,

Also, how to uninstall it? I would like to try installing it again to see if something went wrong by accident.

[Abby Quinn]

Is this going to happen!?  It would make Tempo much more functional.  Also, you should be able to select the days for recurring meetings, as in just MWF.

Same need here; very looking forward to this demand.

This feature is a must if you want to use Tempo for planning work (while having many meetings)!

I have countless examples of people (painfully) trying to plan work with Outlook events, while it would be way more powerful with Tempo (with synced meetings)...

[Thibault GEORGES]

Same for us.

This functionality would be of great help !

[Guillaume Bougard]

Same for us.

This functionality would be of great help !

[Saskia van de Kasteelen]

Same for us.

This functionality would be of great help !

[Billy Bouman]

Agree. Having this functionality would make my life so much more convenient. 

[Ian Foulds]

Same here, it would be a great help to get my planned time from Tempo into Outlook.

Same for us, we require an interface to integrate tempo my work and planner with Office 365 by using the serverversion of tempo.

Would increase the user acceptance if it is working.

[Tim Black]

I'm voting for something similar to the OP. My org also uses Jira Tempo for time tracking and also Microsoft Office 365 Ecosystem for everything else.

I don't see the point of seeing time planned and logged in the calendar, but I do think it would be extremely useful to be able to sync "Planned work" Tempo items with Microsoft tasks accessible via TODO and populate "My Day" and "Planned Work" accordingly. 

Fully syncing calendar to Tempo sheet is one way to achieve this, but if there are any intermediate solutions that will get the above working without full calendar syncing, I'd be on board.

[Thibault GEORGES]

Great, but what about Tempo Timesheet for Server integration ? Does anyone know when same functionnality would be available on Server instances ?

[Mark Haller]

Is there any update on this, for JIRA Server? :-)

[Patrick Joerg]

This is old I know, but I don't know where to ask that other than here.

I know I can mention the issue key in a meeting, so that Tempo will autocomplete and find the issue; like: "[JA-41] Meeting with John."

Is there a way to mark entries in the calendar to not sync to Tempo?

Like: "[none] This is just a blocker, not a meeting."

[Susanne]

Hi @Patrick Joerg

When a calendar event is tagged as "Private" or "Free", it is not synced to Tempo.

[Patrick Joerg]

Hi @Susanne

Right, its not quite what the user wanted, but I think he can deal with this.

He wanted to say explicitly; this entry should not be synced.

I also showed him, that he can clear the tempo view quite easily if there is too much stuff in it.

That an the "Private" option should do it. I think the primarly use case was, to have reminders about something in the calendar. But for me they don't really belong there anyway.

So thanks for the hint about "Private"!
