Why Procore for Outlook Processes Your Email Data

Procore for Outlook enables you to convert important emails into actionable items for your construction projects. When you choose to create a task, RFI, correspondence, or other project documents from an email, the integration reads that specific email to:

  • Extract the email subject to fill the form titles automatically

  • Copy the email content and sender information

  • Include email attachments in your Procore documents

  • Identify email recipients to suggest project team members

How Procore for Outlook Handles Your Email Data

Procore for Outlook only reads your emails when you actively choose to create a Procore item from them. It extracts key information, including the subject, body, sender, recipients, and attachments. This data then automatically pre-populates the relevant forms in Procore, saving you time on manual data entry. Procore for Outlook does not store or access your emails unless you explicitly choose to convert them into Procore items.

Read your Profile

Procore for Outlook will be able to read your profile.

Why Procore for Outlook Uses Your Profile Information

Procore for Outlook uses your profile information to connect your Outlook account to your Procore account. This ensures you have the necessary permissions to create items in your Procore projects.
