Every booking becomes a real Teams meeting.
Connect your Microsoft 365 account once. From then on, every visitor who books a slot on a Teams planner gets a dedicated meeting with a calendar entry on your side, an Outlook invite in their inbox, and a one-click join button in the confirmation email.
Requires a Microsoft 365 work or school account. Personal accounts have a workaround — see below.
How it works
Three moving parts, all stitched together by Microsoft Graph in a single API call per booking.
Connect your account
One click on the Integrations page redirects you to Microsoft, you accept the consent screen, and you're back on FastLinkIt with a green "Connected" badge. No keys, no secrets to copy.
Pick Teams on your planner
On any planner's Online Meeting setting, choose Microsoft Teams. Leave the URL field blank — links will be auto-generated per visitor.
Visitor books, meeting appears
Every confirmed booking creates a Teams meeting on your calendar, sends the visitor an Outlook invite, and renders a Join button in the FastLinkIt confirmation email.
What lands where
FastLinkIt makes a single call to Microsoft Graph. Microsoft does the rest — three artefacts get created in one transaction.
Calendar entry on your side
Visible in Outlook on the web, new Outlook for Windows, Outlook for Mac, and the Teams calendar tab. The subject is the event template name, the body carries the planner description, and the visitor is listed as a required attendee.
Outlook invite to the visitor
Sent automatically by Microsoft as part of the same API call. The visitor sees a real meeting invite in their inbox — accept, decline, or propose a new time, all the standard Outlook actions work. They get this on top of the FastLinkIt branded confirmation.
Per-visitor Teams join URL
Each booking gets its own join URL. Stored on the booking row and rendered in the FastLinkIt
confirmation email via the {{MeetingBlock}} placeholder — a styled purple
"Join the meeting on Microsoft Teams" button that disappears entirely if no URL exists.
Connect in three clicks
There's no app to install and no API key to copy. Just OAuth.
Open the Integrations page
Sign in to FastLinkIt. From the sidebar, hit your avatar → Account → Integrations. The Microsoft Teams card sits at the top with a single Connect Microsoft Teams button.
Accept the Microsoft consent screen
Microsoft shows you exactly what FastLinkIt is asking for. You'll see four delegated permissions:
- Read and create your online meetings — needed to mint the Teams join URL.
- Have full access to your calendars — so the meeting lands on your Outlook calendar and the visitor gets an invite.
- Sign you in and read your profile — so we can show your account email on the Integrations page.
- Maintain access to data you have given it access to — the refresh-token grant so the connection survives without you re-authenticating every hour.
Click Accept and Microsoft redirects you back to FastLinkIt.
Pick Teams on a planner and you're live
Open any planner editor at /organizer, choose Microsoft Teams in the
Online Meeting picker, and leave the URL field blank. Save. Every future booking on that planner
will auto-create a real meeting.
The default confirmation and reminder email bodies already include the
{{MeetingBlock}} placeholder, so visitors get a one-click join button without you
editing anything. Existing planners with custom email bodies can be updated by adding
{{MeetingBlock}} wherever you want the join button to render.
Work or school accounts only
Microsoft restricts the meeting-creation API to Microsoft 365 (work / school) accounts. Personal accounts have a workaround.
Work or school account
Examples: you@yourcompany.com, you@yourschool.edu
- Auto-create per-booking Teams meetings — Yes
- Outlook calendar invite to visitor — Yes
- Join button in confirmation email — Yes
- Cheapest plan that works — Microsoft 365 Business Basic (~£5/mo)
Personal Microsoft account
Examples: @live.com, @outlook.com, @hotmail.com
- OAuth flow accepts you — Yes
- Auto-create meetings — No (Microsoft Graph returns 403)
- Workaround: paste a static Teams meeting URL into your planner's Online Meeting field. Every visitor uses the same room. Fine for solo coaches and 1-on-1 calls.
- Or: sign up for Microsoft 365 and connect that account instead.
One-click join, three calendar buttons
The default reminder body looks like this when Teams is connected. Edit the planner if you want to move things around — the placeholders work in any order.

@live.com, @outlook.com, @hotmail.com) can sign in to the OAuth flow but every meeting-creation call returns 403. See the workarounds.
IDataProtector with a versioned purpose. Refresh tokens rotate automatically, the old ones are invalidated. Disconnecting in FastLinkIt deletes the row entirely — your Microsoft account is unaffected, and you can also revoke our access on Microsoft's side at myaccount.microsoft.com/consent if you want a belt-and-braces revoke.
{{MeetingBlock}} in the default body. If you customised your existing planner before this feature shipped, edit the planner and add {{MeetingBlock}} wherever you want the styled Join button to appear. Other useful placeholders: {{MeetingLinkAnchor}} (plain link, your own surrounding text), {{MeetingLink}} (raw URL).
