Hi all, Happy 22!! šŸ„³ Is there a way to embed a Glide App as a plugin/add-on to MS Word, Outlook, etc.? I look through [this topic](https://community.glideapps.com/t/embed-interactivity-with-koji/24130) but Iā€™m not sure itā€™s what I need. The idea is to allow an internal user to quickly link a document or email (as file) to a client/project managed on Glide? This is a very useful feature that can greatly increase the usability of a CRM based on Glide. Thanks ---

Do you mean you want to embed an MS Word/Outlook document to Glide? How do you envision the flow to look like? Does the user enter a URL to a column then you display that to other users? ---

It would be a great addition if Glide could modify the components and content to an add-on for Microsoft and Google but I think this would be a new product like Pages. Currently Iā€™m pretty sure its not possible via the plug in or add-on modules. ---

> [@ThinhDinh](#): > > How do you envision the flow to look like? Hi Same flow you see with almost all ā€œmajor leadā€ CRM/ERP/WMS, etc. When the user is working on a specific document, one of the tabs (or sidebar) within Word (for example) would be ā€œsend to Glideā€ (or similar). When the user clicks on it, a dialog would assist in linking this document to a specific record (client, project, order, item, etc.). Once connected, an action will add a row that links back to that record and will, ideally, have a google drive link to that drive. As weā€™re talking corporate environment, we have full control over who can see what. I was looking for some similar examples from other systems but couldnā€™t find something with a clear explanation for the flow. Here are some example that are close enough: **Microsoft Dynamics 365** > **[Track Outlook email by choosing a button in Dynamics 365 for Outlook](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/outlook-addin/user-guide/track-outlook-email-by-choosing-button)** > > Learn how to track emails using a manual process in Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Outlook to keep personal emails separate from customer emails. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/4/0/404cf615aa7c3f8dbc94a5d1ec7958b470082fca.png) **Linkpoint** > **[LinkPoint Connect: Enhanced Side Panel | LinkPoint360](https://www.linkpoint360.com/products/linkpoint-connect-salesforce/linkpoint-connect-enhanced-side-panel/)** > > Learn more about the Enhanced Side Panel for LinkPoint Connect, including streamlined email recording, optimized Salesforce integration, and much more. **Clarity CRM** > **[CRM For Outlook, CRM That Integrates With Outlook](https://claritysoft.com/crm-features/outlook-crm/)** > > Clarity CRM integrates with Outlook to keep everything in sync & all in one place.

At the moment I donā€™t think itā€™s possible. If those products can send the document through a webhook then you can do something with Integromat to save the document to your Google Sheets. ---

Hola! I think you need to work with Microsoft Graph to achieve what you want. I have tested some its features/functions and sometimes I get lost due to its power and wide options, itā€™s not for rookies according to my opinion (neither what you wish šŸ˜‰) Microsoft Graph gives you a full REST APIs and client libraries to access data on several Microsoft services: Bookings, Calendar, Excel, Microsoft 365 compliance eDiscovery, Microsoft Search, OneDrive, OneNote, Outlook/Exchange, etc, etc. More info here: [Overview of Microsoft Graph - Microsoft Graph | Microsoft Docs](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/overview) Saludos ---

> [@gvalero](#): > > Microsoft Graph gives you a full REST APIs and client libraries to access data on several Microsoft services Gracias amigo. For better or for worse, weā€™re in the Google Ecosystem. Microsoftā€™s Ecosystem (365) indeed has great options, but so does Googleā€™s šŸ™‚ Iā€™m aware this isnā€™t an idea which is simple to build, which is why I think it should be a native feature from Glide. This could be very useful in many other applications. Iā€™ll try to start a feature request. Very slow chances (~0) but nothing to lose.
