Access and interact with goal progress directly within Outlook email

Viva Goals will be giving users the ability to share links to goals as rich adaptive cards, including progress and status in Microsoft Outlook. Users get the context they need around goals they’re working towards and can also update them in Microsoft Outlook without losing focus or clicking away from the message in Microsoft Outlook.

Users have already had this ability when they paste Viva Goals links in Microsoft Teams if the Viva Goals app for Microsoft Teams has been installed. With this change, the Microsoft Teams app for Viva Goals will be available on Outlook and Office.com, thus bringing this functionality to Outlook as well.
