Create Outlook drafts with Claude on Free, Pro or Max

Why you can't draft with Claude's own connector

The tools in Claude's Microsoft 365 connector that create drafts have to be switched on by an admin on a Team or Enterprise plan. On Free, Pro or Max there's no admin to do that, so Claude can read your mail but not write a draft.

Custom connectors work on every plan

Claude lets you add custom connectors yourself on Free, Pro and Max. The Free plan allows one, so Draftbee can be it. Once it's added, Claude can create drafts and replies in your Outlook from your templates, with attachments, inline photos and formatting. It can't send email, so nothing goes out until you press Send.

Set it up in five minutes

1. Sign in with Microsoft at https://app.draftbee.app. Your 14-day free trial starts, no card needed.
2. In Claude, open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, name it Draftbee and paste https://app.draftbee.app/mcp.
3. Put an email you send often into an Outlook folder called “Templates”, with blanks like [Client name].
4. Ask Claude: “Use my viewing follow-up template for Sarah at 14 Elm Road and attach the brochure.” The draft appears in Outlook, ready for you to check and send.

After the 14-day trial it's US$19 a month per mailbox. Your Claude plan stays as it is. See pricing.
