Outlook Project Management Software Add-In

Last week we gave you a glimpse into the updates we have planned for the first half of 2020. But what we didn’t mention was that we already released a new feature that many of you will be thrilled to hear about. 

Meet the new ProWorkflow Outlook Add-in. 

Just before the end of 2019, ProWorkflow added a native solution in the form of a project management Outlook plugin, which allows you to easily create tasks from emails in Outlook. 

No need to go from platform to platform when you receive a client email requiring you to update or set-up a new task. As long as the project has already been created in the ProWorkflow tool, the Outlook plugin automatically populates tasks from the email in a couple of clicks. 

Is this for you? (Compatibility)

Our new Outlook Add-in is available to all our subscribers from a Proworkflow point of view.

As for compatibility, you’ll need to be on the latest version of Outlook for Windows or Mac.  The Outlook Add-in is also available through Office Web.

Before you get going.

It’s very easy to add the app from the ‘Get Add-ins’ which you can select from the ‘More Actions’ drop-down from any email in Outlook.  After installing, you’ll find the ProWorkflow logo at the top of each email.

Also, grab the app from here.

Create a New Task.
