✅ What the AI can do
- Access SharePoint, OneDrive, Outlook, and Teams directly in Claude. Search and analyze documents across sites and libraries, review email threads and communications, and extract insights from calendar and chat data. Make Microsoft 365 a native part of your Claude workflows while respecting all existing permissions and security controls. Built for Microsoft 365 at work — your company's SharePoint, OneDrive, Outlook, and Teams. Requires a work or school account (you@yourcompany.com). Personal accounts like outlook.com, hotmail.com, or live.com aren't supported.
- Review your Outlook conversations to prepare replies, recap recent exchanges, gather talking points for meetings, or highlight action items.
- Prepare faster with accurate communication history: "Summarize the most recent thread with procurement and pull the exact questions they asked so I can answer cleanly."
- Stay ahead of follow-ups and commitments: "Draft a reply to the latest customer message that acknowledges the concern, sets expectations, and proposes two next-step options."
- Prioritize high-impact conversations: "Find the top 5 emails I should respond to today based on urgency, seniority, and deadlines; include one-line suggested replies."
⛔ What it can't do / limits
- Read-only by default: Claude can only send, create or update content if an admin enables write tools.
- Claude can only see what that user can already see in Microsoft 365.
- Doesn't search the separate Online Archive (In-Place Archive) mailbox.
💡 Good to know
- On Claude, Outlook is covered by the Microsoft 365 connector (work or school accounts only).
Plans & requirements
- Claude: available on all Claude plans (Free, Pro, Max, Team, Enterprise).
- Requires a Microsoft Entra tenant tied to a Microsoft Business plan; personal @outlook.com/@hotmail.com accounts can't connect.
- A Microsoft Entra Global Administrator must grant admin consent before anyone can connect; on Claude Team/Enterprise an org owner also enables it.
