Send, read, draft, forward, and move Outlook email messages

Microsoft Outlook is a comprehensive email and calendar platform that helps users manage communications, schedules, and tasks efficiently. As part of Microsoft's productivity suite, Outlook offers robust tools for sending and organizing emails, coordinating meetings, and integrating seamlessly with Microsoft 365 applications — enabling individuals and teams to stay organized and connected across devices.

With Microsoft Outlook, you can:

  • Send and receive emails: Communicate clearly and professionally with individuals or distribution lists
  • Manage calendars and events: Schedule meetings, set reminders, and view availability
  • Organize your inbox: Use folders, categories, and rules to keep your email streamlined

  • Integrate with Microsoft 365: Work seamlessly with Word, Excel, Teams, and other Microsoft apps
  • Access across devices: Use Outlook on desktop, web, and mobile with real-time sync
  • Maintain privacy and security: Leverage enterprise-grade encryption and compliance controls

In Sim, the Microsoft Outlook integration enables your agents to interact directly with email and calendar data programmatically with full email management capabilities. This allows for powerful automation scenarios across your entire email workflow. Your agents can:

  • Send and draft: Compose professional emails with attachments and save drafts for later
  • Read and forward: Access inbox messages and forward important communications to team members
  • Organize efficiently: Mark emails as read or unread, move messages between folders, and copy emails for reference
  • Clean up inbox: Delete unwanted messages and maintain organized folder structures
  • Trigger workflows: React to new emails in real-time, enabling responsive automation based on incoming messages

By connecting Sim with Microsoft Outlook, you enable intelligent agents to automate communications, streamline scheduling, maintain visibility into organizational correspondence, and keep inboxes organized — all within your workflow ecosystem.
