New Integration — Available to All Users
Your inbox and your docket shouldn’t live in two different worlds. That’s why we built Alt Legal’s Add-in for Microsoft Outlook®— a direct line from your email to the matters you’re already tracking in Alt Legal.
What It Is
Alt Legal’s Add-in for Microsoft Outlook® is a native add-in for Microsoft Outlook that lets you upload emails and their attachments straight to the matters in your Alt Legal docket — without ever leaving your inbox. Whether it’s a client instruction, a filing receipt, or an office action forwarded from co-counsel, you can capture it where it belongs the moment it lands.
What You Can Do With It
- Upload directly from Outlook. Attach an email — and everything attached to it — to the correct matter in just a few clicks, right from your Outlook window.
- Keep attachments together. Send multi-file emails to a matter as a complete set, so nothing gets separated or lost in the shuffle.
- Match to the right matter fast. Search and select the matter you need without switching windows or re-entering context from the email.
- Preserve the full record. Emails are saved alongside their original attachments, so the communication and the documents it references stay linked.
- Stay in your workflow. No exporting, no downloading to your desktop first, no re-uploading through a browser — the add-in works inside the tool you’re already using all day.
Why It Matters
So much of the substance of IP practice happens in email — client instructions, deadline confirmations, filing correspondence, office actions. When that correspondence lives only in an inbox, it’s disconnected from the matter record it actually belongs to, and reconstructing a full file history means digging back through months of email threads. Alt Legal’s Add-in for Microsoft Outlook® closes that gap. By making it just as easy to docket an email as it is to reply to one, this integration helps ensure your matter files are complete, current, and defensible — without adding a single extra step to your day.
