Sending Emails on Outlook to Thread Contacts

By using the Outlook add-in, you can send emails to Thread contacts directly from Outlook, without having to input their email in the To field.  

The contact must be linked to a matter and must have an email added to their contact details.  

 
1. Start a new email and open the Thread for Email add-in on your Outlook application.  
 
Desktop Outlook: 
 
 
Web Outlook: 
 
 
 

2. Search for a matter by using the search bar shown.  
 
 
 
 3. Click the matter name to select it.  
 
4. You will see a list of linked contacts to the matter, and you can choose which contacts you want to send the email to or cc them in an email, by clicking To or Cc. 
 
 

5. You will see the contacts email addresses added to your draft email recipients. 

6. You can also add documents from the matter as attachments, see: Attaching Thread Documents to Outlook Emails.
