What I did: Linked Agenda to my calendars
What happened: Nothing showed on the Agenda overview
What I expected: My calendar items (appointments etc) would show in Agenda
I am not sure what I am expecting is an actual feature but hoping someone can assist me with understanding if I can link my MS Outlook calendar to Agenda.
Thanks!
For calendars and their events to show up in Agenda, they should also show up in the system Calendar.app, and therefore you’ll need to first configure your exchange account in the System Preferences under the Internet Accounts tab, provided that the type of exchange account you use is support by macOS.

What I did: I created my iCloud account
What happened: No integration or view of data in Agenda
What I expected: To show my work and personal google calendars syncing
Things that might be helpful to know (Agenda version, OS and model, etc):
Could you tell me what to do, step by step please?
I am not setting Outlook as the default, and it is not pulling in Today’s events.
It is showing events that have been created using the “create event” premium feature when you select to add a date to an event.
The event is added to my online calendar either iCloud or Office 365 and then syncs to all of the calendar client applications that are logged into the particular account. In the case of Outlook it is signed into my business Office 365 account with no special settings.
I am guessing tha…
My company uses Office 365 in a way that is not compatible with macOS’s implementation, so my work calendars don’t show up in Calendar.app’s list, making Agenda quite less useful to me.
Some apps, like Fantastical for Mac, have written their own native implementation of Exchange , which supports SSO and other features macOS doesn’t, thus alleviating the issue.
Is a native Exchange client something you have planned on your roadmap?
(Or does anybody know a workaround?)
Thanks!

In addition to the above, we were recently told that this can also be related to MDM profiles installed by your workplace:
My work calendars and reminder lists don’t appear in Agenda
If your Mac, iPhone or iPad is managed by your work through so-called mobile device management (MDM) profiles, it might prevent Agenda from accessing your work calendars (e.g. from Office365 or Exchange). To verify whether this is the case, go to Settings > General > Profiles to check if you have indeed an MDM profile installed and other it has the following specific restriction listed: “Opening documents from managed to unmanaged apps not allowed”. If you have an MDM profile with this restriction installed by default it will not allow sharing of your calendars with Agenda.
To resolve this, you will need to speak with your workplace’s administrator, who will be able to grant Agenda the necessary clearance it needs to access your managed calendars. Specifically, Agenda either needs to be added as a managed app in the MDM profile, which allows it to access iOS’s calendar data, or the “Opening documents from managed to unmanaged apps not allowed” restriction needs to be removed from the MDM profile.
