With the Workia Outlook Add-in, you can manage your case records directly within Outlook. ๐ง
This includes filing emails into Workia, viewing checklists, and searching for or create new cases directly from Outlook.
Installing the Outlook Add-in
Installing the add-in is easy! Just follow these easy steps in the site! Open the navigation menu and select Outlook Add-in. This will open up a step-by-step guide on how to install the add-in!
Adding the Workia Add-in to Outlook
To install the Workia add-in, click on the "Get Add-ins" option that is found on the Home tab.
On the Add-ins for Outlook window, select "My add-ins" on the side menu, then scroll down until you see the Custom Add-ins section.

Emails and Related Cases

You can click on the case to open a summary view of the case within Outlook.
