    Outlook toolbar

    I'm thinking about hiring a developer to create an Outlook toolbar in that interfaces with the CommitCRM software (using their API).

    If I would do that, I may offer it to the community (maybe at a low cost) to offset development costs and to help out everyone.

    That being said, how much interest is there in such a tool, and what would you want it to do?

    My short list is:
    - Create a new Account from an email address
    - Create an Account contact from an email address
    - Create a ticket from the body of an email (figure out the account based on the email "from" address, or create a new account)
    - Create a new opportunity from an email
    - Copy an email into an existing Account / Ticket's documents directory
    - Create a new appointment on an existing ticket

    Any other thoughts on this?

    I think this is a great idea, and I would definately purchase!

    It would be nice to have the ability to add an email to an existing ticket along with the other features that you suggested.

          I would chip in US$100 to assist with development.

                    Yes, the project is being developed now. I actually have a working prototype that I use on my machine, but it isn't quite ready for prime time yet. I'll update when it is!

                      Luke when its done, im intrested!

                      For now i got a work-around.

                      1. Create a pop3 account
                      2. Setup the email connector to collect mail from pop3 account
                      3. Setup a imap account in Outlook (with settings pop3 account)
                      4. Drag / Copy your incoming mail into the imap account
                      5. You got a ticket and need to work :)

                      Hope this helps.

                        That's a crafty work around. Why didn't I think of that. :D

                          Re: Outlook toolbar

                          Ill throw a few hundred dollars towards development if needed. This is something I want on all of our office computers!

                            Thanks Austin - it's getting close, but that's what it felt like a month ago too, lol. Actually, I'm using it now, it just doesn't do everything I want it to yet.
