I am designing a solution to sync Salesforce calendar events with Outlook calendar. I already have explored Salesforce for Outlook plug in; however business considers that as a secondary solution as it requires a plug-in to be installed.

I am currently trying to find if Outlook can be configured to pull Calendar Events from Salesforce Email servers. Appreciate any pointers in this direction.

You can try Implisit. Implisit connects directly to your email server as well as your Salesforce (no plugin installation required), and enters all relevant emails and calendar events into Salesforce - fully automatically, attaching them to Opportunities, Accounts, Contacts and Leads.

DISCLAMER: I work for Implisit.

Crazy idea - you could create a custom Visualforce page in a Site that publishes the information in the iCal format. Then have Outlook subscribe to that.

You would need to give some consideration on how to secure the data.

  • Just looking for a solution with Outlook. Since Outlook is an Email Client, wondering why can't it be configured to pull Calendar Events from Salesforce Email Servers?

  • I don't believe Salesforce will give you that type of access to their servers. They expect you to use the "Salesforce for Outlook" plugin.
