How Outlook Calendar data supports SR&ED claims

SR&ED claims require contemporaneous records showing how your team's time was spent on qualifying R&D activities. Data from Outlook Calendar — captured and categorized by Chrono — becomes that record. The CRA accepts time logs derived from project management and collaboration tools as supporting documentation, provided they're organized by project, activity, and date. Chrono does that organization automatically, so your Outlook Calendar activity feeds directly into audit-ready SR&ED documentation.

Common questions about the Outlook Calendar integration

Do I need to install anything to connect Outlook Calendar?

Nothing to install. The connection uses OAuth authorization — you grant Chrono read access through Outlook Calendar's own permissions dialog. Your credentials never pass through Chrono's servers.

Does the Outlook Calendar integration change how my team works?

No. Your team keeps using Outlook Calendar exactly as they do now. Chrono reads activity data in the background and builds timesheets from it. No new tools, no new habits required.

How quickly does Chrono start generating timesheets after I connect Outlook Calendar?

Chrono begins capturing data the day you connect. Most teams see their first timesheets within 24 hours. The integration becomes more accurate over the first few days as Chrono builds a pattern of your team's activity.

Is the Outlook Calendar integration included in the free plan?

Yes. All integrations are included in Chrono's free plan. There's no limit on the number of tools you connect, and no integration costs extra.
