Week view of your Outlook meetings
Meetings from Outlook and Microsoft 365 appear in the dashboard, including attendees, location and time, ready for you to choose a brochure.
Microsoft Outlook integrationConnect Outlook or Microsoft 365 and send physical post from your calendar
Slim Folderen reads your Outlook calendar (Microsoft 365 or Outlook.com) and shows upcoming meetings in the Calendar Assistant. You send an A4 brochure to each attendee after explicit confirmation, never automatically from Outlook.
For teams that work in Outlook: see your week, choose the recipient, confirm. We print and deliver via PostNL.

What you can do with Outlook in Slim Folderen
Microsoft Outlook is not an automatic mailing machine. It gives you an overview of your meetings, so you can send an A4 brochure by post at the right moment, deliberately.
Physical post to prepare for a meeting
Send an A4 brochure, proposal or property presentation so that it is on the doormat before the meeting. Printed one copy at a time, no bulk stock.
IT-friendly, minimal scopes
Only calendar read access and your profile (email). No mailbox content, no files. Some organisations require IT approval first.
Duplicate detection per attendee
Already sent a brochure through an earlier order or campaign? You see it straight away, so you don't send post twice by mistake.
How to connect Microsoft Outlook
Sign in with your work account, get IT approval if needed, then send deliberately.
- 01
Connect Microsoft Outlook
Click “Koppel Microsoft Outlook” (connect Microsoft Outlook) and sign in with Microsoft 365 or Outlook.com. Choose the account that holds the relevant calendar.
- 02
Accept read permissions (or ask IT)
Slim Folderen asks for Calendars.Read and your basic profile. Does your organisation block the app? Ask IT to approve calendar read access.
- 03
Send with confirmation
Open a meeting, choose the external attendee and the brochure, and tick the confirmation box. Without the tick, nothing happens.
Every brochure needs a deliberate confirmation
You choose the brochure, tick that you want to send it now, and only then do we print. That way Microsoft Outlook stays a source of meetings, not an automatic direct mail trigger.
- Read-only access to your calendar: no creating, changing or deleting meetings.
- Brochures are never sent automatically. Every shipment needs your explicit confirmation.
- Tokens are stored encrypted. You can disconnect the integration at any time.
- No access to your email content, Drive/OneDrive or contacts beyond the permissions requested.
This is what the confirmation looks like on your screen: without the tick, no mail goes out.

Frequently asked questions about Microsoft Outlook
Does the integration work with Microsoft 365 and Outlook.com?
Yes. You connect by signing in with Microsoft. Business Microsoft 365 calendars and personal Outlook.com accounts are both supported, provided calendar access is allowed.
Does Slim Folderen send automatically from Outlook?
No. Outlook is only read. Every brochure requires manual confirmation in the Calendar Assistant.
My organisation blocks the app. What now?
Ask your IT administrator to approve Calendars.Read for Slim Folderen. Without that approval, Microsoft may refuse the connection.
Can Slim Folderen see my email?
No. We do not ask for access to mailbox content, only to your calendar meetings and your account's email address for the connection.
What happens if I disconnect?
Stored tokens are deleted. The Calendar Assistant then no longer shows Outlook meetings until you connect again.
Connect Outlook and send deliberately before your next meeting
Companies with a Dutch Chamber of Commerce (KvK) number get one free trial shipment (up to 8 pages). Connect Microsoft 365 or Outlook.com and confirm every brochure yourself.
