We have implemented Connect for Outlook but found it is also rather limited and based mostly on Docebo triggers so while you can configure the message, etc. there are some things you cannot get around..some examples are sending invites in multiple languages, customization for sub domains (you cannot dynamically include links back to the LMS for sub domains as it will not create the proper links), just to name a few...so if you’re need is mostly to integrate with outlook and have RSVP available in the LMS this is an ok tool...there’s likely more that you can do with this tool but it does require a solid understanding of rules and some coding to get it right...lots of testing too...

I feel pre work should be identified by creating a folder in the course they are attending or by creating a learning plan with the pre-work as a prerequisite to attend the session. We have the outlook connect by are currently just utilizing the calendar function and video conference for our virtual courses. 

With that said, I am curious to see if others have input on integrating notifications in this manner.
