Microsoft marks Outlook Mobile 2-Year anniversary add-ins for iOS - including Dynamics 365

It has been two years since Microsoft launched Outlook Mobile with advanced email and calendar management; today, the company is launching a spate of add-ins for Outlook inboxes on iOS.

On the Microsoft Office blog, Javier Soltero, corporate vice president for the Office team, announced:

We're thrilled to collaborate with Evernote, GIPHY, Nimble, Trello and Smartsheet and bring their add-ins to Outlook on iOS. We're also making a few of our own add-ins available today with Dynamics 365 and Microsoft Translator, with many more to follow.

Microsoft promises that you can transform your inbox into a "do-box" with the add-ins. Rather than leaving inboxes to access other apps and services, the add-ins for Outlook enable you to use those apps from within email. Soltero gives as an example being able to translate an email from a new Italian customer while updating the customer's CRM history and your notes or project board, all without leaving Outlook.

Add-ins for Outlook on iOS are available today to Office 365 customers and are rolling out gradually to Outlook.com users. Soltero advises "We will soon be bringing them to Outlook on Android."

Support for Android is coming soon.
