Wealthbox provides functionality to synchronize your Outlook calendar, allowing seamless management of events. Here is a comprehensive guide to setting up, troubleshooting, and managing calendar integrations.

Initial Setup for Outlook Calendar Synchronization

Follow these steps to set up and sync your Outlook Calendar with Wealthbox:

  1. Access Calendar Settings in Wealthbox:

    - Navigate to the three dots in the upper-right corner and select Applications > Outlook Calendar > Settings page.

- Enter your email address and click on Authorize Outlook Calendar.

  1. Choose Your Calendar Type and Log In:

    - Select your calendar host as the provider.

    - Enter your email password.

  2. Enter the Server Information:

    - Input the server host URL provided by your organization.

  3. Specify Calendar Permissions and Enable Sync:

    - Set your calendar’s visibility under Default permissions.

    - Click Enable synchronization to activate the sync process.

Troubleshooting Calendar Synchronization Issues

If you face synchronization challenges, use the following checklist to troubleshoot and resolve:

Common Errors and Their Fixes

  1. Incorrect Email Format

    - Ensure you use the correct email format.

    - If entered incorrectly, disable the integration and re-enter the correct email.

  2. Permissions Required

    - Certain security settings may require IT approval for third-party integrations. Please contact your IT admin to approve the request and proceed with the setup.

  3. Server URL or Host Issues

    - Verify and confirm the correct server URL with your IT administrator.

  4. Sync Stops or Errors During Setup

    - Temporary syncing delays may take up to 24 hours to resolve. Disable auto-fill or password managers that alter login details. Manually verify each setup step.

Managing Multiple Calendars & Visibility

Wealthbox supports connectivity to one Outlook calendar per workspace. To manage multiple calendars:

  1. Syncing a New Calendar: Disconnect the current calendar integration from the Outlook Calendar > Settings page. Then, follow the above setup steps to connect to a different calendar.

  2. Synchronization Behavior: - Events sync only between the connected calendar and Wealthbox. - If using multiple calendars, consider managing each in a separate Wealthbox workspace.

Additional Tips for Success

  • Investigate Sync Issues: If event duplication or missing events occur, provide details such as event title, date, and time for support troubleshooting.

  • Reauthorize Calendar Syncing: To reactivate disabled or inactive integrations, repeat the setup steps under the initial setup.

  • Understand Integration Limitations: Changes to non-synced calendars in Outlook cannot propagate to Wealthbox due to single-calendar restrictions.
