I am running the Outlook for Jira plugin in Windows but have not bee successful finding the similar plugin for Android. Is there a plugin that will allow me to generate anew issue or add to an existing issue from email within Outlook (Android)?
Hi @David Reynolds
Welcome to the community!
You can use Jira Cloud for Outlook add-in which is developed and supported by Atlassian. Once you add it to your Outlook account, it should appear everywhere (Outlook WEB app, Outlook for Desktop, Outlook for Android).
This add-in will help you to create issues from Outlook and attach the original email to the issue, you can also send emails to existing issues, view issue details from Outlook, leave comments on issues, and many more.
I am using the Jira Cloud for Outlook add-in and do have the ribbon panel in Outlook for Desktop. I do not see any Jira tools within the Outlook application (v4.2041.3) of my Android device.
@David Reynolds it's quite hidden in Android. Here you can find documentation about how to use add-ins in Outlook for Android.
To access add-in on Android you need to open an email, click on the three-dots menu, and then swipe up to see all available actions (similar to a ribbon on Outlook desktop).
Here are a few screenshots:
Let me know if this helps.
@Vitalii Saienko thank you for the clarification. I was very close but never thought to swipe up from the three dot selection within the email. Swiping up does provide me access to various plug-ins.
