Hi,

I am setting up an automation with integration with Outlook emails. I can only find limited trigger options. I don't want all my emails to go into AT, only select ones. I figured I would do this by making the trigger conditional, i.e. only when an email is designated with a certain category will the integration trigger and the email post in AT. Does anybody know if this is possible?

Thank you in advance, Christopher

This is not possible with Airtable's native built-in automations, but I have successfully set this up for many of my Airtable consulting clients with Make's Outlook automations.

You can either have Make monitor just one specific folder in Outlook, or you can use Make's "filter" functionality to "filter" certain messages into Airtable.

Hope this helps! If you’d like to hire anexpert Airtable & Make consultant  to help you with anything Airtable-related, please feel free to contact me through my website: Airtable consultant — ScottWorld 

There is a small learning curve with Make, which is why I created this basic navigation video to help. I also provide the links to a few other Make training resources there as well.

Thank you very much for the solution, I checked out Zapier as well before, but they did not offer the filtering options that you suggest Make provides. I will check it out.

You’re welcome! Yes, in general, I would strongly suggest using Make instead of Zapier. I wrote a very short & very brief post discussing Make vs. Zapier at this link.

Hi Scott,

Is it possible to create that integration at an "Outlook company level" instead of adding every employee account one by one to Make? I am being asked to build a scalable integration (i.e. avoid having to manually create a scenario for each new employee), but I am new to Microsoft 365.

Thanks!

No, that is not possible.
