Todoist outlook5/8/2023 ![]() I don’t remember if the iOS version of Outlook allows you to send emails to To Do, but if it did you could grab the link from To Do. Via the Microsoft To Do app - When you send emails to the the Microsoft To Do app, the resulting task contains a link to the email (again, so long as you don’t move it to a new folder). You need to use a regular expression to reformat the initial identifier into the final link. If you compare that identifier to a working email link, there are parts that are identical. Basically, there is an identifier that the flow can grab. I never got it working, because of my lack of regular expression knowledge. I started setting up a flow so I could flag an email in the mobile app, which would then put it in my Todoist inbox. ![]() Microsoft Power Automate, using a regular expression - If you know how to parse text with regular expressions, this should be doable with Microsoft Power Automate (formerly Microsoft Flow). I think this worked even in Safari on the iPhone (i.e., not just the iPad), but I can’t be sure about that. That will grab a link for the currently visible email in the web version, format it, and put in on my clipboard. Shortcuts, via the Outlook web app - in the past, I used the web version of Outlook, and have a shortcut in the Shortcuts app, triggered via the share sheet in Safari. With those caveats, three not-so-simple ways that may or may not work: Also, any links open in the web app, not the mobile app (the same is true even with the Mac version of Outlook - links open in the web app). There’s no simple way, as best I can tell, and also be aware that if you move a message to a new folder in Outlook, the link will break. I’ve struggled with this for quite some time.
