Workfront’s out-of-the-box integrations sync with today’s top enterprise tools and systems, so your team can continue to work with focus, efficiency, and productivity. As most, if not all of you, use email every day, this week’s blog details the benefits of integrating Microsoft Outlook with Workfront to help you master modern work.
Setting up the Outlook integration with Workfront can be quick and easy if you have everything you need. To get you started, watch the short video below.
Focus
With so many different ways to communicate with colleagues, you may find yourself switching between platforms or applications to share updates and ask questions. To streamline communication and remain concentrated on the work at hand, the Microsoft Outlook integration allows you to reply to comments in Workfront without leaving your inbox. You can even post an email as an update to an ongoing task or project. To learn more, refer to the knowledge base article, Replying to a Comment from Outlook.
Efficiency
Workfront is designed to help streamline intake and funnel that new work into a single place. With the Workfront for Outlook integration, tasks or issues can be created directly from an email while preserving the subject, original text, and attachments. This ensures consistent and accurate data for real-time reporting and enables you to run your operations more efficiently, saving time. Refer to the knowledge base article, Add an Outlook email to a project as a task or an issue, to learn more and get step-by-step instructions.
Productivity
In order for employees to not only do their best work, but allocate more time for other meaningful work, integrating Workfront for Outlook can help to eliminate or reduce the need for time-wasting, duplicate data entry. The Workfront for Outlook integration allows users to create and submit new work requests directly from an email while preserving the subject, description, and attachments. This way, employees can be productive on crucial tasks directly tied to helping the business grow. To learn how, read the knowledge base article, Creating a Workfront Request from an Outlook Email.
