We are excited to release today our MS Outlook 2007 Add-in that integrates Zapproved directly into the most popular email client for businesses. This new capability increases the accessibility to our app and brings Zapproved’s functionality into mainstream business applications.

Since the launch of our beta, Outlook integration has been one of the most requested features from our users. They have wanted to have the ability to create proposals without leaving their email client since they would often begin an email and realize that they were actually meaning to send a proposal.

The Outlook 2007 Add-in is simple to use. After downloading it, a new Zapproved button will appear in the Message tab on the “ribbon.” Go ahead and create an email as you would normally.  Next, just set a due date and project name in the Zapproved area and then click the “Send” button directly below the Zapproved sphere. The message will become a proposal in the Zapproved and the recipients will receive a formatted proposal which they can respond to as usual.

This is the first implementation of the Zapproved API and demonstrates our intentions to increase accessibility to our web app, including with other tools and mobile platforms.  Expanding ways that our users can work with Zapproved will bring more and more users into contact with the power of our decision management tool.

Stay tuned for our Add-in for Outlook 2003 which is in the works and we will be pushing that out as soon as it is ready.

To download the Outlook 2007 Add-in, registered users should visit www.zapproved.com/outlook and follow the brief instructions.
