Tapestry PRM now connects Microsoft 365, imports people from a spreadsheet and reaches years of history, so more of your network can introduce you.

  • Microsoft 365Outlook mail, calendar and contacts
  • Spreadsheet importPeople with their roles and places
  • Your whole historyNot just the last 90 days

Short answer: More of your network now counts. The latest Tapestry updates, versions 0.2.46 to 0.2.53, bring in your Outlook mail, calendar and contacts through Microsoft 365, the people in your spreadsheets, and years of history instead of the last 90 days. Messenger and Luma join as sources, Tapestry for iPhone is on the App Store, and anything you mark Private stays out of Always-on and everything you share with your team. More of the people you already know means more people who can introduce you.

Microsoft 365: your Outlook network, finally in Tapestry

If your work runs on Outlook, the people you deal with every day can now show you the way in. Connect Microsoft 365 under Integrations to bring in your Outlook mail, calendar and contacts, from a work or a personal account.

Until now, people whose days live in Outlook got very little from Tapestry. Now the buyers, partners and investors you email and meet there sit alongside your texts, calls and meeting notes. When a target company comes up, Tapestry can check your Outlook relationships too before you send the cold email.

  • How you connect: you sign in with Microsoft, and Tapestry reads your mail, calendar and contacts into your Mac.
  • Work and school accounts: your organization may need to approve Tapestry first. For IT admins explains what your IT team sees and how they approve or remove access.

If your account won’t connect, tell us and a person will reply.

Import people from a spreadsheet

Some of your best relationships never made it into your inbox. They’re on the attendee list from a conference, the investor tracker from your last raise, or the team sheet from an old job. Now you can bring a sheet of people into Tapestry with their roles and places.

Raising again? Drop in last round’s tracker and those investors join everyone else you know, ready for the next time you need a way in. The import shows up in Your sources like any other source, and the file is read on your Mac.

Your whole history, not just the last 90 days

The colleague from your first job. The founder you advised three years ago. The investor who passed last time. A relationship that goes back years now shows those years, so Tapestry can tell you who you really know, not just who you’ve emailed lately.

  • Everything, from the start: Slack, Avoma, Outlook Calendar and Apple Calendar bring in your full history.
  • From a person’s card: Gmail, Google Calendar and Outlook offer their older history when you open someone’s card.
  • WhatsApp reaches older history too.

All of it is read on your Mac.

Messenger and Luma

  • Messenger: import your Messenger chats from your Facebook download. People to confirm now suggests Instagram and Messenger names that may be someone you know, and people you’ve written to in both directions become Contacts on their own.
  • Luma: connect Luma for the events you attend or host. Every dinner you hosted and every event you went to becomes context you can find later. For events you attend, Tapestry gets the event and its hosts, not the guest list.

Your Facebook download is read on your Mac. Luma is a sign-in, and Tapestry reads your events into your Mac.

For teams: find the warm path through each other (preview)

Selling or raising as a team? The person who knows your buyer is often on your own team, and you never find out. With Team, you can share Always-on with your teammates, so a target list shows who on your team can introduce you.

Your team sees that you know someone and when you were last in touch, never what was said unless you choose to share it. Anything you mark Private stays out entirely. Always-on keeps an encrypted copy of everything else you allow on Tapestry’s hosted service, so it can answer while your Mac is off.

Team is in preview. Request Team access or see how Team works.

Tapestry for iPhone is on the App Store

Tapestry for iPhone is on the App Store, so the warm path comes with you to the meeting. Pairing takes one dialog: on your Mac, click Connect your iPhone, from Setup, Settings, Your plan or Access, and scan the code with your phone. Tapestry is now on iPhone covers what the app does.

Smaller changes

  • Text in images and scanned PDFs is now read, on your Mac. The business card photo and the scanned deck count too.
  • Attachments count: Apple Mail and HubSpot attachments are read for their text, and HubSpot emails, notes and inbox conversations come in whole.
  • Every detail shows its source: profiles show where each detail came from, so you can trust what you’re about to say.
  • You choose each app: turning on Full Disk Access now only grants the permission. You pick each app on the Apps step, or press Connect all.
  • Teammates’ recordings, when your people were there: you can keep teammates’ Fathom and Fireflies recordings when one of your Contacts was in the meeting. It’s off until you turn it on.
  • A clean removal for CRMs: you can delete everything a HubSpot or Attio account brought in.
  • Group texts keep their members, from iMessage and Android.
  • Last in touch means you: a teammate’s recording no longer counts as your own last time in touch with someone.
  • Remote access now has its switch in Settings › Your devices.
  • Tapestry Capture names each installation by its Chrome profile, in the app and in the extension, and saves LinkedIn profiles whose address has an accented letter.
  • Meeting notices respect Focus, so they won’t interrupt the pitch you’re in. They break through only if you turn on Let meeting notices through Focus in Settings › Meeting notices, and each notice offers Turn Off Meeting Notices under Options. Tapestry’s other notices also wait until Focus ends.
  • Faster: the Map, profiles, contact details, Start, Contacts, Files and launch all got quicker.

On the way

Two things we’re building next:

  • Microsoft Teams chats, so the people you message at work count alongside your Outlook mail and meetings.
  • Sharing your network with your community, so members can see how many of them can introduce you, and make the ask. Read how communities work.

Where does your data go?

Everything above follows the same rules:

  • Imports and text reading run on your Mac.
  • Sign-in sources, such as Microsoft 365, Luma, Slack and HubSpot, read into your Mac.
  • AI assistants: if you let an assistant read your Tapestry over MCP, what it reads goes to that assistant.
  • Always-on: if you turn it on, it keeps an encrypted copy of everything you allow on Tapestry’s hosted service. Anything you mark Private stays out.

The privacy notice covers each source in full.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to do anything to get these updates?

No. If you’re in the beta, the Mac app updates itself.

Can I connect a work Outlook account?

Yes. Microsoft 365 works with work and personal accounts, though a work or school account may need your organization’s approval first. For IT admins has the details for your IT team.

Where does an imported spreadsheet go?

The file is read on your Mac, and the people in it show up in Your sources like any other source.
