Make your emails into trackable, actionable tasks

You can search projects and tasks on PlanStreet with outlook integration.
Add emails to existing tasks to capture the context
Your entire team probably isn’t copied on every email chain that includes information they need to do their jobs. But without these details and context, they can’t effectively do their work. Whether it’s a proposal from an agency, an email from a candidate with their contact information, or another team at your company requesting design resources, you want your entire team to have the right information to do their job. Instead of switching between tools to copy and paste this information, simply add the email to an existing PlanStreet task as a comment right from Outlook.
To add emails to an existing task:
- Click the PlanStreet icon at the top of the email and click Open PlanStreet Add-in
- Search for the task you’d like to add the email to, and then click Add email
