Editor's review
This tool sends meeting requests and task assignments as email, ensuring every recipient is able to read the details properly. The native format for meeting requests or task assignments may not be readable on clients other than Outlook or on devices like the iPhone.
AppointmentStyler is add-on to the Outlook that sends meeting requests and task information as emails. The native format of meeting requests and task assignments are not readable on non-Outlook mail clients and hence you may not be able to communicate properly. Typically such recipients would get an error message that the content could not be read. On the other hand when the same information is sent as an email, it is readable on non-Outlook mail clients as well as on clients on devices like the iPhone. This tool gets around this problem and you do not need to remember if your friend or colleague has a Outlook client or not.
As a first step, patterns for appointments and tasks are to be created. You need to provide just the parameters such as meeting time, addressee name etc. Additional parameters that could be used include subject, companies, starttime, startdate, duration, location, body, persons, endtime, enddate, response requested, role, due time, due date, importance. You create the templates using these parameters for appointments as well as tasks. Select the relevant parameters and create a styler. The invitations are then created and sent out much in the fashion of a mail merge operation. This gives you convenience alright but for a very specific environment and use!
I just want to give you all a little review about Appointmentstyler.
This tool is very useful for everybody who sends appointments or tasks to people who do not use outlook. That people might have problems in reading these outlook files.
Appointmentstyler creates an additional html-email for every appointment or task which is sent from outlook. That html-email makes sure, that everybody is able to read your outlook appointments/tasks.
Furthermore it is possible to create own templates for the html mail so that this mail can look very professional. Templates are patterns in which the data of your appointments/tasks is automatically integrated by appointmentstyler.
