What's new in Outlook development

Outlook Add-ins enhance the capabilities of Microsoft Outlook by adding new features and streamlining tasks, improving productivity, collaboration, and integration with other tools. These add-ins can automate routine tasks, extend functionality for email management, integrate Outlook with other applications, and provide additional tools for scheduling, data analysis, and communication. Here’s a breakdown of the various functions that can be performed using Outlook Add-ins.

Email Scheduling

Add-ins like Boomerang or Send Later allow users to schedule emails to be sent at a later time or date, helping manage follow-ups and email timing.

Follow-up Reminders

Tools like FollowUpThen or SndLtr allow you to set reminders for follow-ups, making sure you never miss an important email.

Read Receipts & Tracking

Add-ins like Yesware or Salesforce Inbox track whether an email has been opened and when, providing valuable insights into recipient engagement.

Email Templates

Add-ins such as TextExpander or My Templates allow you to create and insert custom email templates to save time when sending repetitive responses.

Quick Replies & Canned Responses

With tools like Quick Steps or Outlook Templates, you can automate responses or set up predefined responses for commonly received emails.

Email Snooze

Add-ins like Snooze for Outlook allow users to snooze emails to a later time or date, temporarily removing them from your inbox to focus on more urgent tasks.

Task & Project Management

Add-ins like Trello for Outlook or Asana for Outlook allow users to convert emails into tasks and manage their projects directly from the Outlook interface.

Shared Calendars

Add-ins like Microsoft Teams or Slack for Outlook integrate with communication tools to allow seamless collaboration on shared calendars, meetings, and team discussions.

File Sharing & Collaboration

Add-ins like Dropbox for Outlook or OneDrive for Business enable users to quickly attach files from cloud storage, and automatically share documents with team members, maintaining version control.

Integrate your business solutions into Outlook

Use the power of event-based add-ins
