After connecting an Office 365 email account, ClientSuccess will automatically bring in copies of all email messages sent to or received from a contact in a client's record. No need to BCC or forward emails as the platform will simply watch your account for you.

Emails within a 24-hour window moving forward (from the time users connect) will be brought into the Engagement module every hour.

In order to generate an "app password", you will need to have enabled two-step verification.

Once you have the app password that will be the password you use in step 4 below. Here's what using an app password will look like.
