Seamless integration with Straatos BPM Platform

Straatos for Outlook integrates seamlessly with Straatos BPM Platform. There is no need for any manual intervention on Outlook if there are new workflows or modifications on existing Straatos workflows.

The Outlook Add-in is available as a free application, but requires that the user have access to Straatos BPM Platform. Please read Details & Support for more system requirements.

(This add-in may access personal information on the email, such as sender names, recipient names, email addresses, message body, and attachment information.)
