Ground a Copilot Notebook in specific email threads
Add specific Outlook email threads as references in a Copilot Notebook so project context includes the decisions made over email, not just meetings and files.
Reference an individual Teams meeting as a knowledge source inside a Copilot Notebook, instead of manually copying the transcript in.
Project notebooks that stay current with meeting context automatically, not from manual copy-paste.
The apps run in this order.
Use the notebook you're already tracking this project in, rather than starting a new one for every meeting.
Use "Add source" in the notebook and pick the individual meeting from your calendar or the channel's meeting list, not the channel itself — referencing the whole channel pulls in every meeting that's ever happened there, which buries this specific meeting's content in unrelated context.
The value is connecting this meeting to what's already in the notebook — ask something like "how does what we decided today change the plan from last week."
If the new meeting conflicts with a decision already recorded, resolve which one stands rather than letting the notebook hold two contradictory "facts."
