How does Precisely's Microsoft Outlook integration work?

To use documents from email attachments in Precisely, simply:

1. Open the email that contains the attachment(s)
2. Select your organization
3. Choose to Create new project, Upload to existing project, or Upload to the Archive
   
   
4. When creating a new project, you must select a Precisely template to use*
   
   
5. When uploading to an existing project or to the Archive, you must select the project or the Archive folder 
6. Select the email attachment(s) you want to use to create a project or upload to Precisely
7. Choose to upload the email thread as a separate zipped .EML file
   
   .EML files contain email content saved in plain text. The plain text includes messages, senders, time, and more. This type of file can be sent and received through RFC-822-compliant email programs, such as Microsoft Outlook.
   
   
8. Finally, click the blue Create project or Upload to project/Upload to Archive button

*Can't find your template in Outlook? Make sure the Uploading permissions tab is switched on in the template's settings in Precisely: 

How do I finish creating a project in Precisely?

Clicking the Create project in Precisely button will take you to the project's drafting page in the Precisely platform. The selected email attachments will be listed as PDF files, along with any included zipped .EML files:

All you need to do is answer any remaining questions to generate the contract and then send it to the next steps - such as approval, review, or signing. 

When .EML files have been uploaded to the project, you will see details of the email's thread subject, parties involved, and the date of the last email sent in the Supporting files section. Click the Email thread subject link for a PDF view of the entire email thread, and download the zipped .EML file by clicking the download symbol to right of the file.
