Connect Microsoft Outlook and OmniFocus to unlock the power of automation

You need to use our platform to create a zap that connects Microsoft Outlook with OmniFocus. Start by selecting a trigger event in Outlook, such as receiving a new email or adding a calendar event, and choose an action in OmniFocus, like creating a task or project. Our setup guide provides detailed steps for this process.

Yes, you can automate this by setting up a zap that uses an Outlook email as the trigger. When you receive a new email or label an existing one, the zap will automatically create a corresponding task in OmniFocus with details like the subject and body of the email.

If you've created a zap that tracks calendar events from Outlook to Omnifocus, any updates made to the original event will not reflect automatically in OmniFocus unless explicitly set up within your zap configuration. We recommend setting additional zaps for such updates.

Currently, our platform doesn't directly support recurring tasks between these platforms. However, you can set up triggers for specific events or actions repeatedly performed in Outlook to create repetitive tasks in OmniFocus manually.

Firstly, ensure all your zaps are active and correctly configured with the right triggers and actions. Check for any error messages or broken connections between Microsoft Outlook and OmniFocus on our platform. If problems persist, visit our help center or reach out through customer support.

When creating tasks from emails via our platform, you can include fields such as subject, sender's name, body content for task notes. However, attachments won't be included automatically unless specified via supplementary configuration within your zaps.

To receive notifications, set up a zap where completing a task in OmniFocus acts as the trigger event. The action would be sending an email notification through your Microsoft Outlook account detailing the completed task information.
