Hi @Paul_Rounding and welcome to the forum,
Unfortunately Asana doesn’t currently support external rules (that is, rules where the action involves an external app like Outlook) in project templates or bundles, as you’ve discovered.
You can vote for those features here:
This is apparently also true when creating rules in bundles. Super frustrating. Every way that we have to add a rule to multiple projects, you cannot add an external action. So we’ll have to add this rule project by project.

There is a workaround that’s discussed here:
Great tip and great writeup, @BenGraneyGreen !
This same approach is valuable in non-script contexts as well, for other Asana features not available in bundles.
For example, the same solution would help when using rules with external actions (send email or chat) which couldn’t exist in bundles. And also to implement rules across multiple users’ My Tasks, since bundles can’t be added to My Tasks.
Thanks,
Larry
