What do I need to get started with integrating Microsoft Outlook with xMatters?
To integrate Microsoft Outlook with xMatters, you will need an active account on both platforms. You'll also require access to xMatters Flow Designer, which lets you create integrations by dragging and dropping triggers and actions.
Can I trigger an xMatters flow when I receive a specific email in Outlook?

Are there any limitations on data that can be shared between Microsoft Outlook and xMatters?
While most common data types like email content, subject lines, sender details, and calendar events can be shared between the two platforms, complex data types that require processing beyond basic field mapping might need additional customization.
