The connection to your calendar system is realised with Enterprise Connect by our partner Cronofy. The OAuth 2.0 standard is used for authentication.

Enterprise Connect currently supports the following calendar vendors:

Enterprise Connect in softgarden supplements the functionality of Smart Calendar. The activation of the calendar integration is therefore required.

No additional settings are required to use Enterprise Connect with Microsoft Office365. There is no need to create a service account.

You can find more information here: https://docs.cronofy.com/calendar-admins/enterprise-connect-office365-graph

To use Enterprise Connect with Microsoft Exchange, first create a service account with ApplicationImpersonation permission on one or more mailboxes. This requires administrator rights.

With this role, an Exchange account can access a subset of users or the entire Exchange organization. To be able to list resources, a mailbox must be assigned to the service account.

Instructions for the setup can be found here: https://docs.cronofy.com/calendar-admins/enterprise-connect-office365-exchange/configuring-application-impersonation/
The authorization can be tested using the Microsoft Remote Connectivity Analyzer.

To use Enterprise Connect with G-Suite, please install the Cronofy app for your system: https://gsuite.google.com/marketplace/app/cronofy/902414518019
Administrator rights are required for this.

For a more granular definition of user groups you can set additional restrictions: https://docs.cronofy.com/calendar-admins/enterprise-connect-gsuite/restrict-google-service-account/

For connecting to your calendar system, please note the requirements for your provider. To activate Smart Calendar Plus please contact softgarden support.

Afterwards please go to the settings in the Calendar section as administrator.

By clicking on "Start authentication" you will be redirected to our partner Cronofy.

Select your calendar provider from the list. Afterwards the respective authorization page will open.

For the authentication you will be redirected to a login screen at Microsoft. Log in here with the authentication data of an admin account of your Office355 instance.

Afterwards you will be forwarded to the softgarden system. The connection of your Microsoft Office 365 corporate calendar is now complete.

Further information on troubleshooting and setting up the required permissions can be found here: https://docs.cronofy.com/calendar-admins/enterprise-connect-office365-graph/

Enter the account credentials for Microsoft Exchange here.

You need the login data of the service account and a user's e-mail address. If you have not configured Autodiscovery for your domain, you also need the public Exchange Server URL.

You will then be redirected to the softgarden system. The connection of your Microsoft Exchange corporate calendar is now complete.

Further information on troubleshooting and setting up the required permissions can be found here: https://docs.cronofy.com/calendar-admins/enterprise-connect-office365-exchange/

For the authentication you will be redirected to a login mask at Google. Log in here with the credentials of an administrator. You will now be asked to grant Cronofy access to your calendar.

Afterwards you will be forwarded to the softgarden system. The connection of your G-Suite corporate calendar is now complete.

Further information on troubleshooting and setting up the required permissions can be found here: https://docs.cronofy.com/calendar-admins/enterprise-connect-gsuite/

After successfully connecting your corporate calendar, you can check the synchronization status in the settings.

When connecting, all existing users in your system will be synchronized with your calendar once. This works for all those users that are part of your company-wide calendar system and exist in the Exchange or G-Suite organization.

You can check the synchronization status in the "Connected users" section. Here you can see the number of connected users.

You can also initiate a new synchronization at any time. For large systems this process may take several minutes.
For new users in your system the authorization will be done after the first login.

All users who have been successfully connected to Enterprise Calendar can immediately start using the calendar integration with Smart Calendar.

If you want to disconnect your corporate calendar from softgarden, please click on "Disconnect".

Please note that this will also remove the calendars of all users connected via this authentication method from softgarden. The users will have to manually reconnect their calendars to Smart Calendar.

Of course you can reconnect the corporate calendar at any time.

You can also view and revoke the connection status of your corporate calendar at any time here: https://app-de.cronofy.com/enterprise_connect/

More information on troubleshooting and setting up the required permissions for the respective calendar systems can be found here:

To check the configuration of your Office 365 or Exchange system, please use the Microsoft Remote Connectivity Analyzer: https://docs.cronofy.com/calendar-admins/enterprise-connect-office365-exchange/testing-configuration/

If a user is registered in softgarden with an email address that is not part of your Exchange or G-Suite organization, synchronization will fail. An overview of the synchronization errors can be found in the settings.

Ask the affected users to enter an email address known to your calendar system. Then you can restart the synchronization.
