Enable Write Tools to Automate Microsoft 365 Tasks
Automate file creation and email drafting directly within your Claude chats.
Enable 'write tools' for the Microsoft 365 connector to allow Claude to actively manage your calendar, send emails, and organize files in OneDrive or SharePoint.
The Scenario
You have just finished a brainstorming session with Claude and need to turn those ideas into an email and a saved document in your company's official storage.
Before & after
You had to read the AI's suggestions, then manually open Outlook or OneDrive to draft the email or create the file, taking 5-10 minutes of app-switching.
Use the Microsoft 365 connector to prompt Claude to perform these actions directly. Tasks like drafting an email or creating a OneDrive folder happen in 1-2 minutes.
The Prompt
'Using my Microsoft 365 access, draft an email to [RECIPIENT] regarding [TOPIC], then create a new folder in my OneDrive named [FOLDER_NAME] and save this draft as a summary document there.'
The upgraded Microsoft 365 connector enables 'write' permissions, allowing Claude to interact with your workspace rather than just reading from it. This requires admin consent for the updated permission set.
