Does Glean index attached documents in outlook emails?
Hi @laurenoregan - Glean is not able to index the attachments from outlook at this time. For more information, you can check out our documentation.
Is there a feature request out for this?
There is! I've added your company to it, but it would be helpful to understand the priority and business impact this would have if we added it to our roadmap. Feel free to share any use cases (and I highly encourage other members to do the same here!)
I've had users who have wanted to find specific documents that have been emailed to them, and then ask questions about that document.
@Gleanie Kat, we'd also love to be added to this FR. I can come up with a bunch of use cases and can discuss with @kelseymeyer27.
@laurenoregan. unfortunately, there isn't an Outlook rule that can automatically sweep attachments to a folder that is indexed by Glean (i.e. OneDrive). Our users are most familiar with Outlook rules so that would be a nice work-around if it existed. Since it doesn't, we're going the route of Power Automate for specific cases, but since it's less straightforward than an Outlook rule it's difficult to scale to many users.
