## At a glance

- **Setup:** Admin turns it on. Each member connects an account.
- **Calendar:** Outlook and Google Calendar.
- **Email add-in:** Outlook and Gmail.
- **Documentation:** [Outlook docs](https://usepike.com/docs/integrations/outlook), [Gmail docs](https://usepike.com/docs/integrations/gmail), and [Google Calendar docs](https://usepike.com/docs/integrations/google-calendar)

## What syncs between Outlook, Gmail, and Google Calendar and Pike

| Feature | What it does | Works with |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Calendar suggestions | Meetings show as suggested time entries, matched to a task where possible | Outlook, Google Calendar |
| Pike calendar | Your allocations and approved time off on a read-only calendar | Outlook, Google Calendar |
| Email add-in | Create a task from an email, log time, and see the sender’s projects | Outlook, Gmail |

A meeting becomes a time entry only when the member saves it. Calendar events never change capacity.

## Set up and use Outlook, Gmail, and Google Calendar

### Connect

1. Go to **Workspace settings → Integrations** and turn on Outlook, Gmail, or Google Calendar.
2. Each member connects their account under **Settings → Connections**.
3. Pick **Calendar suggestions**, **Pike calendar**, or both.

### How to use it in your business

- **Stop losing meeting time.** Client meetings show as suggestions, so billable calls get logged, not written off.
- **See your plan where you live.** Allocations and time off sit on the calendar people already check.

### Limits

- Shared, delegated, and secondary calendars are not read.
- Pike reads an email only when you open the add-in on it.

Setup steps and field mappings: [Outlook docs](https://usepike.com/docs/integrations/outlook), [Gmail docs](https://usepike.com/docs/integrations/gmail), and [Google Calendar docs](https://usepike.com/docs/integrations/google-calendar).

### Does Pike integrate with Outlook and Google Calendar?

Yes. Meetings show in the Pike timesheet as time suggestions, and allocations and time off appear in a Pike calendar.

### Does Pike log meetings automatically?

No. Meetings show as suggestions. Only entries a member saves count toward timesheets.

### Is there a Pike add-in for Gmail and Outlook?

Yes. The add-in creates a task from an email, logs time, and shows the sender’s projects.
