Looking for a solution to integrate microsoft outlook to asana. I have attempted this on a few occasions and it appears there is no integration for asana to outlooks desktop app. There may be an add in for outlook web based product but we only use desktop app.

Hi SaM, thank you for your reply. My issue is I am not able to get the asana plugin to work with my Outlook 365 desktop app. Evidently, you can only utilize the add-in through the web version. Can you confirm this? If so I may need to look into switching my outlook from the desktop version to web-based but just not sure what that entails.
