Sometimes you just need to send a quick, short note to your co-worker. Of course, you can use Outlook for this, but today we\u2019re launching a new app through the Microsoft Garage<\/a> that is built specifically for those brief, snappy communications\u2014Send<\/a>, designed for in-and-out email.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Send is available for iPhone in the U.S. and Canada, and is coming soon to Windows Phone and Android phones. The app works for people with Office 365 business and school email accounts, and we expect to make the app more broadly available in the coming months.<\/p>\n While tools like text messaging and IM are great for short messages, you often don\u2019t have your co-worker\u2019s cell phone number or an IM app on your work phone. And we\u2019ve heard loud and clear from people at work, they want all their communications available in Outlook\u2014even if they send them from other apps. This is where Send comes in! Send gives you the simple, quick text message-like experience while allowing you to reach all co-workers and have all of your communications in Outlook for reference later.<\/p>\n Send lets you quickly and easily send any co-worker a message without a subject line or formal email constructs. Some examples of Send messages include:<\/p>\n These are the sort of quick emails you send to the people you care about at work\u2014your boss, your teammates, and sometimes partners or customers outside your organization. You\u2019re usually busy or on the go when you send them, and Send is specifically designed for this get-in get-out scenario.<\/p>\n Imagine you\u2019re walking into a big presentation and someone asks you to find out if your colleague will be attending. Chances are, you don\u2019t have your colleague\u2019s phone number, but you will probably have their email address\u2014especially if you\u2019ve been emailing with them recently. You don\u2019t have time to search your inbox, start a new thread, or even type out a subject line. You just want to ask that person, \u201cWill you be at the presentation?”<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n With Send, there are no signatures, subject lines or salutations required. Our design principle for the app was to make conversations fast and fluid while keeping the people who are important to you at its core. Send connects to Office 365 business and school email accounts to surface your frequent and recent contacts. The people who are important to you are put right at your fingertips\u2014just tap on a contact to start a conversation. Or even better, simply swipe and choose a Quick Reply<\/strong> such as\u00a0\u201cOn my way\u201d<\/em> or \u201cI\u2019ll get back to you.\u201d<\/em> You can also see when someone is typing their response; there\u2019s never been a quicker way to reach someone over email.<\/p>\n Send doesn\u2019t show all<\/em> your emails, just the ones started in the app, keeping you in control. All Send messages comply with your organization\u2019s email compliance policies\u2014they are treated like any other work email. And for IT Pros, we\u2019re working on bringing more IT controls to the app in the coming months.<\/p>\n The connection with Office 365 means your conversations are synced with Outlook, letting you continue the conversation from anywhere. And just like regular email, you can message anyone with an email address. No need to exchange numbers, remember usernames or split conversations across platforms.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now that you know a little bit about Send, we\u2019d love to hear what you have to say. We\u2019re listening to your feedback, which you can submit under the Help<\/strong> section of the app. We\u2019ve added a FAQ section to the Office 365 Network<\/a> on Yammer, and you can join us for a YamJam on Tuesday, July 28th<\/sup>\u00a09\u201310 a.m. PDT to ask questions about the app.<\/p>\n To join the YamJam:<\/p>\n\n
