You can share your Schedulista calendar with Microsoft Outlook using the iCalendar (iCal) feed for your account. 

What is iCalendar and what is an iCalendar (iCal) feed

iCalendar is a open standard for sharing calendar information between users and software and applications on their devices. iCalendar (iCal) can be shared as an active feed or as a single computer file format.

iCalendar is supported by Microsoft for Outlook, either local to your PC (including Microsoft 365 or Office 365) or through Microsoft Exchange.

An iCal feed is read only, sharing information one way. Schedulista appointments are shared with Outlook but not the other way around.

Refresh/Update Rate

The Schedulista iCal feed updates as soon as you make changes to your calendar. Microsoft Outlook must ask for an update from the iCal feed to refresh or update the Schedulista appointments on Outlook. The refresh/frequency rate -- how often it updates -- is controlled by Microsoft Outlook.
