New Outlook Add-Ins : Uber, PayPal, Evernote
As announced at Build 2015 Developers conference, Microsoft recently rolled out a new set of Outlook add-ins, commencing with Exchange 2013 business users, Outlook 2013 and Outlook on the web for Office365.
The first set of add-ins include the likes of Uber, Boomerang, PayPal and Evernote and the soon to be launched include Yelp, Microsoft’s Wanderlust and IFTTT.
The idea behind these add-ins is closely related to enhancing productivity for users by enabling them to use these apps within Outlook rather having to access them separately.
Boomerang:
What It Does : Allows you to schedule your Inbox activities ranging from- setting a reminder to send an email, notifying if you didn’t receive a reply for your email, share real time calendar presence and schedule meetings with a smart calendar assistant.
