What do I configure for the Microsoft Outlook integration?

In Graphlit you configure the search Filter, email Type, include Attachments, and maximum Emails fields that define exactly what gets imported. Connector-backed services use the connected Microsoft account boundary; credential-backed services use the API key, URL, bucket, folder, or query settings shown in the setup flow.

Microsoft Outlook integration for Graphlit

Q: Can Graphlit ingest Microsoft Outlook?

Yes. Graphlit ingests microsoft Outlook content through the Outlook messages data source. The page-level capability includes messages and conversation threads, mailbox folders and categories, attachments and inline content, and senders, recipients, and subjects, then turns that material into searchable content, citations, extracted entities, and observations for RAG and agents.

Q: Can agents deliver to Microsoft Outlook?

Yes. Graphlit exposes approved delivery to Microsoft Outlook through connected accounts and MCP-native distribution. Agents can send approved follow-up email from Outlook, create email drafts for human review, and cite retrieved context in the body, so side effects stay explicit and tied to Graphlit's distribution workflow.

Ingest

What gets ingested

Graphlit reads the selected Microsoft Outlook surfaces, converts the source material into searchable content, and keeps enough source metadata for grounded answers, retrieval, and downstream agent workflows.

Deliver

Deliver through Microsoft Outlook

Delivery pages show the full path from context to action: Graphlit retrieves context from Microsoft Outlook, agents reason over that context, and approved outputs are delivered through MCP tools and connected accounts.

Connect Microsoft Outlook

// Ingest from Microsoft Outlook
await client.createFeed({
  name: 'Account Inbox',
  type: Types.FeedTypes.Email,
  email: {
    type: Types.FeedServiceTypes.MicrosoftEmail,

});

// Deliver to Microsoft Outlook
await client.distribute(

Prepare

What Graphlit prepares

The integration is not just a connector. Graphlit turns Microsoft Outlook into content that can be searched, cited, summarized, enriched with observations, and supplied to agents through the Graphlit API and MCP.

{
  "source": "Microsoft Outlook",
  "content": "Outlook messages",
  "extracted": [
    "entities",
    "observations",
    "facts",
    "summaries"
  ],
  "citations": [
    "Microsoft Outlook source references"
  ],
  "agentContext": {
    "searchable": true,
    "groundedAnswers": true,
    "deliveryEnabled": true
  }
}

Use cases

What you can build with Microsoft Outlook

Build a Microsoft Outlook knowledge base from messages and conversation threads and mailbox folders and categories and search it alongside the rest of your Graphlit content.

Ask grounded questions over Microsoft Outlook context without forcing users to leave the tools where the work originally happened.

Extract people, organizations, projects, events, facts, and decisions from Microsoft Outlook content so agents can reason over durable context.

Let approved agents send approved follow-up email from Outlook after retrieving the source context that justifies the delivery.
