Out of Office into a Workfront user's day off screen

I've been searching for this and so far, no luck - so while I keep searching, I figured let's ask a question to the hive mind 

 

Has anyone solved this need with Fusion and WF and Outlook 365:  Where if a user has their Out of Office setup in Outlook, Fusion could poll Workfront's user list against the Outlook client.  And if a date is found in Outlook append their Workfront Time off screens?  

 

My educated guess is this would require too much overhead within Fusion - especially where Outlook has an exponentially larger data set of users than Workfront would have; So, Fusion would need to be the starting point from Workfront and then "ask" Outlook does this user have any days off.  Which leads to a data table to track what days it has already checked.   

 

Just typing this out makes it seem over complexed.   And I can't connect to the HR system for security issues.    

 

ALT Idea - has anyone used a request queue to feed Fusion to update the time off system in Workfront.    As I don't want to grant full User Access to a group admin 'Just' to update time off... 

 

Again thank you all
