Can emails in an Outlook inbox be automatically added to a sheet?

rplotkin

We have the Smartsheet Outlook plugin, which lets us manually add emails from Outlook to a manually-selected sheet in Smartsheet.

We are looking for ALL emails that arrive in the inbox of a particular email address to be automatically added to a pre-specified sheet. Is this functionality available in Smartsheet or in the Outlook plugin?

Or is there a way to automate this?

We are considering Zapier or something similar, but I'm wondering if this functionality already exists within Smartsheet, without the need to use a third-party tool.

Hi @rplotkin

I hope you're well and safe!

Zapier, the Smartsheet API, or another 3rd-party integration is the solution.

I usually use Zapier in my client solutions.

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic weekend!

I agree with Andrée, that Zapier can be a good and cost effective option for this kind of job. What we would often do for our customers is have an automatic rule set up in Outlook to forward the email to Zapier. Zapier has some clever tools available to even pull out some of the data from the email and put it into different columns within the sheet - super cool!
