Announcing Actionable Messages in Outlook Mobile for iOS and Android

Today, we are announcing the support of Actionable Messages in Outlook for iOS and Android to further help customers get things done quickly on the go. When you receive an email that has an option to take action, such as approving a timesheet, granting system access or quickly answering a survey, you can act on it right inside the email without leaving your inbox and switching apps.

Microsoft is working with the developer community to integrate the tools, tasks and experiences of leading applications in a way that brings the work you would normally do in other apps right to your email. Using Actionable Messages with Adaptive Cards, developers can deliver messages in Outlook so customers can stay in context of what they doing and quickly take action. Outlook for Windows and Outlook on the web already support Actionable Messages and rolling out over the next few months, customers will be able to take action with Outlook for iOS and Android on a mobile device.

Office 365 Groups: Actionable Message to approve adding members to groups in Outlook mobile

The Microsoft partners who are actively developing Actionable Messages with Adaptive Cards include SurveyMonkey, Freshworks, ServiceNow and Sage. If your company uses these business applications, you may soon see their new Actionable Messages appear in Outlook on your mobile device as well as the other supported platforms.

SurveyMonkey: Actionable Message professional development survey in Outlook mobile

If you are a developer: Partners who develop Actionable Messages with Adaptive Cards will be able reach their target users wherever they are and on their device of choice. The supported platforms are Outlook on the web, Outlook for Windows and Outlook for iOS for customers using the Microsoft sync technology. Outlook for Android will support Actionable Messages in the coming weeks and Outlook for Mac later this summer. Developers should now pivot to design Actionable Messages with Adaptive Cards for mobile first which will scale well to larger screens.

For our business customers: We’re helping customers improve productivity and achieve their business goals by partnering with leading developers of the applications they already use, including Microsoft 365. Business apps are intended to help achieve specific results. For example, shorten approval cycles that can reduce accounts payable or meet data compliance requirements, and reach front line mobile workers to retrieve inclusive company survey results. Now with Outlook mobile support of Actionable Messages, customers can act promptly, get results faster and increase reach when the emails can be acted on from their mobile devices.

Please give us feedback in Outlook mobile Help and Feedback or at Outlook.uservoice.com so we can continue to learn and improve how these new Outlook mobile experiences, including Actionable Messages, help you connect, organize and get things done faster.

FAQ

1. Who are some of the notable partners developing Actionable Messages for Outlook mobile at this time?
We are working with a range of first-party and third-party partners—including Microsoft SharePoint, Office 365 Groups, @mentions in Word and Excel inline tasks and MyAnalytics for focus time to SurveyMonkey, ServiceNow, Sage and Freshworks —and the number of partners continues to grow.

SurveyMonkey is combining the power of Microsoft Graph with Actionable Messages within its latest integration with Microsoft to enable intelligent peer-to-peer feedback. This new integration empowers employees to define, gather, and reflect upon feedback from peers for professional development. Microsoft Graph helps SurveyMonkey’s platform effortlessly identify users’ most frequent collaborators, while Actionable Messages ensure that survey recipients can quickly respond right from Outlook, without switching tasks or context, and when and where it is most convenient. Launching in the coming months.

ServiceNow offers Actionable Messages for approvals and to survey end users that engage a department for services and support. With Actionable Messages, it’s easier and faster to approve or complete a survey when you can take action right from the email message. Frictionless action means faster approval times, more responses and feedback, and therefore more opportunity to create great experiences for customers.

Sage understands importance of timesheet approval for auditing and payroll purposes and that late or missing approvals impact customers and employees alike. Making it easier and faster to approve timesheets with Actionable Messages in Outlook, approvals can be done on the go and on time.

Freshworks is using Actionable Messages to help speed up the helpdesk support process and improve productivity. Agent assignment and ticket priorities can be set right from the inbox of the triage team leads so they complete key steps in the process faster and aim to exceed customer expectations.

2. Do users opt-in to enable Actionable Messages once available or is it rolling out automatically to Outlook mobile users?
There is nothing users need to do to enable Actionable Messages. Customers using the Microsoft sync technology for Outlook mobile will automatically receive support for Actionable Messages. At this time, the Microsoft sync technology is available to all Outlook.com accounts and is still in the process of rolling it out to all Office 365 accounts. It’s expected that the roll out of the Microsoft sync technology for Outlook mobile customers will be completed in the coming months.

3. What Outlook endpoints support Actionable Messages?
Outlook for Windows - Version 1805, Build 9330
Outlook on the web – Available to all Office 365 customers
Outlook for Mac – Coming later this summer. Version number TBD
Outlook mobile will support Actionable Messages for customers who are using the Microsoft sync technology which is available today for all Outlook.com users and gradually rolling out in the coming months to Office 365 customers. The availability of the Outlook mobile app that support Actionable Messages are:

Outlook for iOS – available today

Outlook for Android – will start to roll out in the coming week.

This means that you may have the Outlook mobile app that supports Actionable Messages but until your company is using the Microsoft sync technology, the user experience with the Actionable Messages may not be as designed. We expect most Office 365 customers to be transitioned to the Microsoft sync technology over the coming months.

You can determine if you are using the Microsoft sync technology for Outlook mobile: go to Settings and select your Office 365 account. There will be a notation at the bottom of this screen if you are using the Microsoft sync technology. Customers can contact their account team if they would like to expedite the transition.

Information about support for Actionable Messages with Adaptive Cards in Office 365 can be found here.
*Actionable Messages is not available for US Office 365 Government Community Cloud High and Department of Defense customers.

4. Are controls available for Administrators to manage Actionable Messages?
Yes, Actionable Messages can be managed at the company tenant level by an administrator using a Powershell command to manage connectors. Disabling Actionable Messages would disabled them across all Outlook endpoints in addition to Outlook mobile. Office 365 Administrators can learn more about managing Actionable Messages in Outlook here.

Microsoft Edge now available for iOS and Android (Updated)

3/26/18, 9AM PT: iPad and Android tablet owners – we’ve got some great news for you! Microsoft Edge is now available as a free download in the Apple Store and Google Play Store. Now, you too, can experience familiar features like your Favorites (including Roaming Favorites), Reading List, New Tab Page, Reading View, and Roaming Passwords in Microsoft Edge across all of your devices. And, what makes Microsoft Edge really stand out is the ability to continue on your PC, allowing you to open a web page from your phone right on to your PC. We look forward to bringing new features and updates to Microsoft Edge for iOS and Android in future updates, so please keep providing feedback!

In October, we introduced Microsoft Edge for iOS and Android in preview, in response to your request to make Microsoft Edge work well with your phones. A special THANK YOU goes out to each of you—hundreds of thousands of you—who downloaded, test-drove, and sent feedback on the preview apps. Your ideas and passion have contributed to an even better app experience.

We are pleased to announce that we’re removing the “preview” label from our Android and iOS app.

Starting today, Microsoft Edge is available for iOS (Apple Store) and Android (Google Play Store) as a free download.

Microsoft Edge for iOS and Android brings familiar features like your Favorites, Reading List, New Tab Page, Reading View, and Roaming Passwords across your PC and phone, so, no matter the device, your browsing goes with you. But what makes Microsoft Edge really stand out is the ability to continue on your PC, which enables you to immediately open the page you’re looking at right on your PC—or save it to work on later.

And thanks to your feedback, we’ve added some new and popular features since launching the preview mobile app:

Roaming Passwords – Save a new password on your phone, and it follows you to your PC. Get to what you need, regardless of where you are or what device you are currently working on.

Dark theme – You can now enjoy this popular theme on your phone, in addition to your PC.

On market and language availability, Microsoft Edge for iOS is available in the United States (English), China (Simplified-Chinese), France (French) and the UK (English). Microsoft Edge for Android is available in the United States (English), Australia (English) Canada (English and French), China (Simplified-Chinese), France (French), India (English) and the UK (English). We look forward to bringing MS Edge for iOS and Android to additional markets and languages over time!

We are committed to empowering people and organizations to achieve more. And Microsoft Edge for iOS and Android is another step in that journey. While we’re excited to remove the preview label along with the download restrictions, we are more excited about all that’s ahead. We have a long list of new features to build and improvements to make. We hope you will try the app alongside your Windows 10 PCs and provide your ideas on what can make it even better. As has been our approach with Windows 10, we’ll continue to try new things, learn and build the best experiences possible.
