## Overview
Automate responses when Outlook delivers a new message or when an event is removed from the calendar. Teams commonly route escalations, file tickets, or alert attendees of cancellations.
<Tip>
Connect Outlook in **Tools & Integrations** and ensure the trigger is enabled
for your deployment.
</Tip>
## Enabling the Outlook Trigger
1. Open your deployment in CrewAI AMP
2. Go to the **Triggers** tab
3. Locate **Outlook** and switch the toggle to enable

## Example: Summarize a new email
```python
from outlook_message_crew import OutlookMessageTrigger
crew = OutlookMessageTrigger().crew()
crew.kickoff({
"crewai_trigger_payload": outlook_payload,
})
```
The crew extracts sender details, subject, body preview, and attachments before generating a structured response.
## Testing Locally
Test your Outlook trigger integration locally using the CrewAI CLI:
```bash
# View all available triggers
crewai triggers list
# Simulate an Outlook trigger with realistic payload
crewai triggers run microsoft_outlook/email_received
```
The `crewai triggers run` command will execute your crew with a complete Outlook payload, allowing you to test your parsing logic before deployment.
<Warning>
Use `crewai triggers run microsoft_outlook/email_received` (not `crewai run`)
to simulate trigger execution during development. After deployment, your crew
will automatically receive the trigger payload.
</Warning>
## Troubleshooting
- Verify the Outlook connector is still authorized; the subscription must be renewed periodically
- Test locally with `crewai triggers run microsoft_outlook/email_received` to see the exact payload structure
- If attachments are missing, confirm the webhook subscription includes the `includeResourceData` flag
- Review execution logs when events fail to match—cancellation payloads lack attendee lists by design and the crew should account for that
- Remember: use `crewai triggers run` (not `crewai run`) to simulate trigger execution
