# Create Outlook calendar event

> Create a new event in your Outlook Calendar from a Workflow.

Create events in your Outlook Calendar directly from a [Workflow](https://docs.cassidyai.com/workflows/overview.md). Use this action to schedule meetings from form submissions, add follow-up events after calls, or automate calendar management.

**1. Add the action**

In the [Workflow builder](https://docs.cassidyai.com/workflows/building.md), click the **+** button between existing blocks. Select **Create Microsoft Outlook Calendar Event** from the action list.
