With the Lucid Meetings Outlook Add-in, you can schedule and update meetings in Lucid directly from your Microsoft Outlook calendar. You must have Room Manager access in at least one Lucid meeting room to use this feature.

About this Integration

When you use the Lucid Meetings Outlook add-in, you can schedule Lucid Meetings from the task pane in your Outlook calendar. These fields from Outlook are used for the meeting in Lucid: 

  • Meeting name
  • Attendees (based on email address)
  • Date and time
  • Repeat settings

You select the room and meeting template to use within the task pane of the add-in. 

To Install the Outlook Add-in:

Select the "Get Add-ins" icon in Outlook, go to "My add-ins," and choose "+ Add a custom add-in", then "Add from URL...". Enter this URL for the add-in's manifest file:

To Schedule a Lucid Meeting from Outlook:

  1. Open the add-in:
    Opening the add in from Outlook
    The first time you use the add-in, you will be prompted to authorize it to use your Lucid account.
  2. Select the Room and Meeting Template you want to use, then click Create Lucid Meeting:
    Select your room and template
  3. A summary of the Lucid meeting will appear in the task pane, and details about joining the meeting are added to the description of the event in Outlook: 
    Opening the add in from Outlook

To Update a Lucid Meeting from Your Outlook Calendar: 

Open the add-in and click Update Lucid Meeting to update the Lucid meeting from your Outlook event.

Note that the add-in does not establish automatic updates between Outlook and Lucid Meetings. If you modify a meeting in Outlook, you must click the "Update Lucid" button to transmit the changes to Lucid. If you make changes in Lucid, they will not be transmitted to Outlook. (We plan to add automatic updates in a future version.)
