# Pre-register an appointment from Outlook or Google Calendar

> Create a pre-registration simply by inviting a dedicated email address to your calendar event. Your colleagues keep their habits (Outlook, Google Calendar, Teams) and Anghello syncs the visit automatically.

**Audience:** Hosts, Administrators, Managers
**Application:** Outlook, Google Calendar, Microsoft Teams
**Estimated time:** 1 minute

---

### Before you start

* Preregistration and the invitation address must be configured on the site. See [Configure the calendar import address](https://help.anghello.com/en/article/set-up-the-calendar-import-address-1wuadgh/).
* You must be an **Anghello user of the site** (host or admin): the email you use as the organizer must be the one on your Anghello account.

---

### Steps

### 1. Create an event in your calendar

Open Outlook, Google Calendar or Teams, and create a new event as you usually would.

### 2. Add your external visitors as guests

Invite your external visitors (up to 10 per event) by adding them to the participant list.

### 3. Add the Anghello invitation address

Also add your site's invitation address (for example `my-site@invit.anghello.com`) to the recipient list.

### 4. Send the invitation

Click **Send**. That's it! Within a few seconds, Anghello creates one pre-registration per external visitor.

---

### What Anghello does automatically for you

* **Your external visitors** become pre-registrations in Anghello.
* **You** are identified as the **host** of each visit (thanks to your organizer email).
* **Internal colleagues** invited to the same event are ignored (they don't become visitors).
* **Teams resources** (rooms, equipment, projectors) are ignored.
* **If you edit the event** (date, time, guest list), Anghello updates the corresponding pre-registrations.
* **If you cancel the event**, the visits are automatically cancelled in Anghello.

### Good to know

💡 **Tip:** Your calendar remains the source of truth. No need to edit the visit in two places (Anghello + calendar): a change in your calendar is enough.

💡 **Tip:** "All-day" events (a whole day, with no specific time) are automatically converted to a `00:01 – 23:59` time slot.

### Troubleshooting

| Problem | Solution |
| ---- |
| The visit doesn't appear in Anghello | See [My visitor didn't receive the pre-registration email](https://help.anghello.com/en/article/frequently-asked-questions-and-troubleshooting-polfte/). |
| I have more than 10 visitors to invite | Use [manual preregistration](https://help.anghello.com/en/article/manually-pre-register-a-visit-17i9h05/) in the Admin app instead — no batch limit. |
| The event is rejected as "unauthorized sender" | Check that you are the organizer and that your email matches your Anghello account. |
