# Outlook – Integration Setup

This guide walks you through connecting your Microsoft Outlook account to Antei. Once connected, Antei will sync both email and calendar data to help you manage compliance notices, filing schedules, and return deadlines across jurisdictions.

## Authentication Method

Antei uses **OAuth 2.0** via Microsoft Graph API to connect to your Microsoft 365 account.

* **Type:** OAuth 2.0 (Authorization Code Flow)
* **Scopes Requested:**
  * Read-only access to emails for notice extraction
  * Read/write access to calendars for return and task scheduling
* **Security:** All tokens are encrypted and scoped per organization
* **Email Handling:** Only headers and tax-relevant metadata are accessed — never full body content

> 🔐 Antei is SOC 2 compliant. All calendar actions and email access are logged in your workspace’s audit trail.
