Title: Connected to Outlook 365, but Echo sees nothing in calendar
Post by: sdevoy@bizfocused.com on April 11, 2019, 10:08:59 pm
Hi,

I installed my first Echo. I went into the Alexa app on my phone and connected the Email and Calendar to my Office 365 account.  If I ask Alexa what is on my Calendar, the answer is always "Nothing".  I had Alexa add something to my calendar, gave date, time and topic.  Alexa said OK.  Nothing ever appears in my Outlook Calendar.

Any ideas?

thanks,
Sean

Account linking, such as email and calendars, don't usually happen instantly. How long have you waited? Also, on your Office 365 account did you give Amazon/Alexa the necessary permissions?

Thanks for the response.

I waited 24 hours.  I un-linked and re-linked (3 times).  I checked Office 365 Admin, Alexa has full permissions. 

The Echo also says no new email when there is email pending.

I am kind of disappointed.  I hate to have to send it back, but if it can't connect I don't want it.
