Connecting an Office 365 or Outlook Account

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.

***NOTE:  If you have a security policy that requires a security token, you can use Office365 to generate a "One Time Password" that will create a token for you to enter as your password, securing your connection.  The instructions are found on Microsoft's support site here. 

As this article mentions, 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.
