Hi,
is it possible create tasks from email in Outlook?
Like in ToDo from Microsoft?

Flag email in Outlook = new task in Agenda…

No, that level of integration is not possible, I’m afraid. MS can do it, because it makes both Outlook and ToDo.

You can drag tasks from Outlook into Agenda to get a link. That may work. You can also create Agenda Links to notes in Agenda, and paste those into Outlook.

Kind regards,
Drew

Drag and drop works only on MacOS… and what about iOS? And what about Send to Agenda?

We are working on a sharing extension that would allow for sending things to Agenda indeed.

Hi,

This isn’t what you asked for but what I do as a workaround. Microsoft’s To Do can be linked to iOS Reminders and this allows the creation of reminders in Agenda and assign them to a To Do list. The workflow for tasks creation is: Agenda → Reminders → To Do → Outlook

I then manage the tasks in To Do and marking an item as done workflows through to Agenda. This approach supports my planning system in Agenda, where I have daily, weekly, monthly and yearly plans; Agenda’s linking system is create here. Creating the task in Agenda captures the date and context.

Thanks, Ian

Not at this point I’m afraid, this kind of deep level integration with Outlook is probably hard to pull of being a non-microsoft app.
