Turn Claude into a Microsoft 365 Executive Assistant
Automate email and file management directly through your AI chat.
Enable 'write tools' for the Microsoft 365 connector to let Claude draft and send emails or create files in OneDrive and SharePoint directly from the chat interface.
The Scenario
You need to send a project update to your manager and save a record of that update as a file in a shared SharePoint folder.
Before & after
You had to manually copy information from Claude, open Outlook, paste it, format it, and manually attach any related OneDrive files, taking 10–15 minutes.
By enabling 'write tools,' Claude can draft, send, and file your emails or update mailbox settings in about 1–2 minutes of chat.
The Prompt
Using my Microsoft 365 connection, please draft an email to [RECIPIENT] regarding [TOPIC], and save a copy of the final version as a Word document in my [FOLDER_NAME] folder on OneDrive.
The Microsoft 365 connector now supports 'write tools,' allowing Claude to perform actions in Outlook, OneDrive, and SharePoint. This requires initial admin consent but drastically speeds up administrative workflows.
