Business value

With the Outlook add-in for Dynamics 365 Field Service, service managers and frontline workers don't have to leave Outlook and open the Field Service web app or mobile app to get summary of a work order. Stay in your flow of work and boost your productivity and efficiency with contextual information right in your preferred communication app.

Feature details

The Dynamics 365 Field Service for Outlook add-in enables Copilot to create a summary about a work order that captures all the important information required for service managers and frontline workers to understand the context of the work order they're dealing with.

The work order summary in Outlook is identical to the summary in the Field Service web app and on the mobile app. By default, Copilot provides summaries based on a predefined list of tables and columns that Microsoft maintains. Administrators can change the summary configuration to meet their business needs.
