I setup sync to an outlook calendar and it works when I setup the sync but then does not seem to update or I am not waiting long enough? What is the sync frequency from Asana to Outlook on new tasks and updates to old tasks. ---

Welcome @Jason_Orchard ! If you are using the sync that is available from the project action menu (like in the image) I would advise against it. I have found it unreliable. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/asana/original/4X/0/4/2/042495d23a55dab0724c7e7fb96ff39da5cbd446.png) Syncing this with outlook web over Outlook desktop still makes it unreliable. A more reliable (and near instant sync) would be to use the [📅 New and Improved Asana to Outlook Calendar Sync!](https://forum.asana.com/t/new-and-improved-asana-to-outlook-calendar-sync/933792) It still is one way sync sadly. ---
