Frequently Asked Questions about Things + Microsoft Outlook integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Things and Microsoft Outlook
How do I integrate Microsoft Outlook with 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.
What triggers are available for Outlook in the integration with Things?
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.
What actions can be performed in Things when integrated with Outlook?
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.
Can I create a recurring task in Things from recurring events in Outlook?
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.
Is it possible to add due dates to tasks created from emails received in Outlook?
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.
Does the integration support adding attachments from emails to tasks in Things?
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.
How secure is the data transferred between Microsoft Outlook and Things through your platform?
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.
