Toolkit & Connectors
Connecting Microsoft 365 (Outlook Mail & Calendar)
Overview
Microsoft 365 appears in Toolkit → Connectors with three services — Outlook Mail, Outlook Calendar and OneDrive. Each has its own Connect button and its own sign-in; connecting one does not connect the others.
What works today: Outlook Mail lets Torki read your recent inbox messages, Outlook Calendar lets Torki read the events in your next seven days, and OneDrive is used when you open a document, table or deck from the chat in Word, Excel or PowerPoint. Sending mail, creating events and searching OneDrive are not built.
What it needs
Microsoft 365 is included from Lite upward. It is not part of the Free plan.
Get started
1. Connect a service
- Open Toolkit → Connectors and click Microsoft 365
- Click Connect on the service you want
- Sign in with your Microsoft account (personal or work/school) on the page Torki opens in the same tab
- Grant the requested permissions; Torki brings you back to the Toolkit
Read the consent screen carefully. It asks for more than Torki uses — Outlook Mail asks to send mail and Outlook Calendar asks for read-write access, even though Torki only reads. The rows in the Toolkit say the same ("Send email as you", "Create and edit events"); those lines describe the permission, not a feature. Approve only if you are comfortable granting more than Torki uses.
2. Read your inbox
Ask "what's in my Outlook inbox?" and Torki shows your 10 most recent messages, newest first, with sender, subject, a short preview and an unread count, under a header reading "Outlook Mail — Inbox".
It cannot search your mail, open a full message, mark anything read, or reply.
3. Read your calendar
Ask "what's on my Outlook calendar?" and Torki lists the events from now to seven days out, up to 50, with title, start, end and location, under a header reading "Outlook Calendar — This Week".
That window is fixed, so asking for one day or for next week returns the same seven days.
4. Open a file in Word, Excel or PowerPoint
When Torki offers a document, table or deck as a card in the chat, the card can show Open in Word, Open in Excel or Open in PowerPoint. With OneDrive connected, Torki uploads the file to your OneDrive and opens it there. Without it, the card asks you to connect it in Toolkit → Connectors; downloading works either way.
Good to know
Torki cannot send Outlook mail. If you ask it to, it answers "Sending Outlook emails isn't supported yet — this is on our roadmap. For now I can read your Outlook inbox but can't send mail from it." No approval card appears, because there is nothing to approve.
Creating Outlook events is not supported. Torki says so and offers to put the event on your Google Calendar instead.
Torki cannot search or read your OneDrive. Asking it to find a file there gets an answer that this is not available yet.
Controlling it
Reading is two tools under Toolkit → Permissions: Outlook Mail View and Outlook Calendar View. Sending and creating are not listed there because they do not run.
Disconnecting
Disconnect each service separately in Toolkit → Connectors → Microsoft 365 — turning off Outlook Mail leaves Outlook Calendar connected. Disconnecting deletes the token Torki stored for that service.
It does not revoke anything on Microsoft's side. If you want the grant removed there too, also remove Torki from your Microsoft account's app permissions.
FAQ
Why does the consent screen ask to send mail?
The permission set was written ahead of the feature. Torki has no send path today — the request is wider than what it uses.
Can Torki find a file in OneDrive?
No. OneDrive is used only to open files from the chat in Word, Excel or PowerPoint.
Can I ask about a specific day in Outlook?
No. The read window is fixed at seven days from now.
Why is my Outlook still connected at Microsoft after I disconnected?
Torki removes its own copy of the token. Microsoft keeps its record of the grant until you remove Torki from your account's app permissions.
