Frequently Asked Questions about Microsoft Outlook + Things integrations

New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Microsoft Outlook and Things

You can integrate Microsoft Outlook with Things through our platform by setting up zaps that connect specific triggers and actions. For instance, when you receive an email in Outlook, a new task can be created in Things. You simply need to authorize both apps in our system and configure the trigger-action workflow.

When integrating Outlook with Things, you can use triggers such as 'New Email', 'New Folder', or 'Event Start'. These triggers help automate creating tasks in Things based on activities occurring in your Outlook account.

When connected with Outlook, actions that can be performed in Things include creating a new task, updating existing tasks or completing a task when conditions based on your Outlook data are met. This helps streamline task management directly from your email client.

Yes, using our integration tools, recurring events scheduled in Microsoft Outlook can trigger the creation of recurring tasks within the Things app. By setting this up once, all future occurrences of an event will automatically result as tasks.

Absolutely. When you set up the integration, you can specify that any new task created from an email trigger includes a due date. This ensures better planning and prioritization within your Things application.

Currently, our integration does not support transferring attachments directly from emails into tasks within the Things app. Task descriptions and details can be automatically included, however attachments have to be added manually.

We prioritize your data security by using advanced encryption methods for all interactions between Microsoft Outlook and Things via our services. Each app is independently authorized which ensures that shared data is kept secure at all times.
