RamBase Outlook Add-in
Install and run the RamBase Outlook Add-in
The RamBase Outlook Add-in supports transport of emails directly from Outlook (web, desktop or mobile application) to RamBase documents/applications with the following functionality and corresponding options:
Consolidate and share emails and attachments to RamBase for documentation purposes: Archive mail. (This option attaches the email to the selected RamBase entity.)
Create and assign a task: Create task. (This option creates a task in the Task (TASK) application and attaches the email to the task's File Manager or inserts the email content in the task’s description, if opted for. More information about the Task (TASK) application is available here.)
Create new business opportunities in RamBase: New Opportunity. (This option creates an Opportunity (OPP) in RamBase and attaches the email to the opportunity's File Manager. More information about opportunities is available here.)

What information is transferred from Outlook to RamBase when using the Outlook Add-in?
When an email is transferred to RamBase, it works in the following way:
Archive mail - The email and any attachments are accessible within the entity's File Manager.
Create task - The body of the e-mail appears in the Description field of the task. However, neither the email nor any attachments are transferred to RamBase.
New Opportunity - The email is accessible in the opportunity's File Manager, but attachments are not transferred to RamBase.
