Emails contain more than just messages – contracts, client approvals and project updates. In many organizations, those critical details sit in Outlook inboxes while the rest of the project files live in SharePoint. The result? Silos, missed information and back-and-forth.
The solution is simple: Outlook SharePoint Integration to save emails directly into SharePoint without the extra work.
Why This Matters in B2B
Email is a part of the official record for business teams and serves as more than just a communication tool. Knowledge is lost and compliance risk rises when crucial emails are buried in personal inboxes. Businesses make sure emails are organized, searchable, and secure by integrating Outlook with SharePoint.
Common Ways to Save Emails
Drag & drop, Power Automate, and Outlook add-ins are the three methods available for transferring emails from Outlook into SharePoint.
Select the one that best suits your team’s daily workflow, volume, and governance.
Drag & Drop (Old Outlook)
You could drag emails into a SharePoint library that was synchronized with OneDrive in previous versions of Outlook. It works well for one-time saves, but the new Outlook does not support it, and it is manual.
Power Automate Flows
You can create rules with Power Automate to have emails or attachments transfer to SharePoint automatically. Although setup and testing can be challenging, it’s excellent for large-scale automation.
Outlook Add-ins (Best for Business)
With the help of modern Outlook plug-ins or add-ins, you can save emails to SharePoint directly from the Outlook ribbon. Without ever leaving your inbox, they manage attachments, record metadata, and ensure compliance. For companies that require consistency on a daily basis, this is the most effective method.
If you want a business-ready setup without extra IT work, KonnectEmail’s Outlook–SharePoint Integration has a preconfigured framework that handles compliance, metadata and governance from day one.
How Add-ins Make It Easy
After installing the add-in:
- In Outlook, open an email.
- Select the panel for the SharePoint add-in.
- Choose the folder or library.
- Save the email (along with any attachments) with automatically captured metadata.
Instead of forwarding or uploading manually, your email is in SharePoint where your whole team can see it.
Don’t make saving Outlook emails to SharePoint a chore. With the right Outlook Office SharePoint integration, your team can reduce steps, be compliant and make emails part of your knowledge base.
