Outlook
Your assistant reads, searches and drafts your email in Outlook. Replying and sending wait for your OK.
Connect Outlook
- In the setup: pick Outlook under What do you want to connect?, then click Connect on it in the next step.
- Later: on your assistant's page, under Connectors, click Add and pick Outlook. Then click Connect on its card.
Sign in with your Microsoft account on its own sign-in page. Every call runs as you, and Willow keeps the sign-in: your assistant never sees it.

Try asking
- "Read my last Outlook email"
Good to know
- Add a rule that blocks Send mail when to doesn't end with
@yourcompany.com, so it never writes outside your company. Check the argument's name in the rule's list. - The Email addresses guard skips this app from the start: its tools need real addresses to work. If you limit that guard to only some servers, leave this one out. See Guards.
