About the Microsoft 365 activity package

Overview

Microsoft 365 is a cloud-based subscription service that brings together the best tools for the way people work today. By combining best-in-class apps like Excel and Outlook with powerful cloud services like OneDrive and SharePoint, Microsoft 365 lets anyone create and share anywhere on any device.

• manage Outlook calendars
• trigger automations when certain events happen.
