Outlook Plug-In for Mac Users

Hi Haykfalakyan

Maikaru is correct, I loaded the plug-in for Office 365 and it only related to emails. We also want WorkFront to be able to work with Outlook Calendars.

Hello Haykfalakyan,

Thank you for replying

I don't think that is what we are wanting, correct me if I am wrong but it appears the link you shared gives us the plugin that allows to convert any email to a task/issue or to "add to my work"

We are wanting to be able to access WorkFront from within Outlook, usually there is a folder on the left and when you click it you can use Workfront from within Outlook

and there is a function on the Windows version where you can log hours in outlook to WorkFront from within Outlook calendar.

This logging hours is a big big need for my company. My employees are not liking having to create an outlook calendar meeting/event and then having to go into WorkFront and log it there too.

Hi. If you are using Office 365, you can install the new Workfront add-in for Outlook 365 which works equally well both on PCs and Macs. Here are the setup instructions.

Hello Graham,

Thank you for your reply. I wonder if we have a contact for WF team to see if they can push this agenda onto MSFT to allow for the plugin to get rolling

Hello Maikaru

This is what we were told by one of the speakers at a London WorkFront User Group. He said that because Outlook is a Microsoft product and not Apple, it's difficult to get the information needed to develop an Outlook plug-in off them.

Hello Graham,

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Would you mind sharing who you spoke with? Maybe figure out who we need to speak with at Microsoft to get this going.

I felt like they have been good about making other apps/ software compatible with each other recently.

I've been asking for this for a while now but WorkFront have always said it's down to Microsoft as to why it's not available to Mac Users. It's very definitely needed, though, and would make all our lives much easier. I'm sure it's not beyond the capabilities of the two companies to get together and sort this out.

I wonder why this hasn't been implemented already? I feel like WorkFront has been around for awhile now and it doesn't make sense why Macs are not up to date when most Marketing teams use a Mac.

I want to be able to access WorkFront from my Outlook and also to track outlook calendar data in WorkFront.

My team wants to use less separate window tools, thus being able to do all this in Outlook like Window users can already do would get more buy in from my team.

Couldn't agree more!!

Agree 100%
