Use this interactive demo to learn how to connect Salesforce with your Outlook inbox.

Quick summary

Steps

  2. Use the Quick Find bar and search for Outlook Integration and Sync.
  3. Toggle the Outlook Integration setting ON to enable the feature.
  4. Click to reveal the rest of the integration settings.
  5. Click Assign Permission Sets to define which users can access the Outlook inbox.
  6. Click on Microsoft AppSource to proceed to the add-in installation page.
  7. You will be redirected to the Microsoft App Source Store listing for the Salesforce add-in.

📌 Why this matters

Linking Salesforce to Outlook eliminates the need to manually log emails and meetings, keeping your CRM data accurate and up to date automatically. The Salesforce Outlook Integration lets sales reps view and update Salesforce records directly from their inbox, reducing context-switching and improving productivity. By syncing contacts, events, and emails between both platforms, teams gain a complete view of every customer interaction without leaving their email client. This integration is essential for any revenue team looking to streamline workflows and ensure no customer touchpoint goes untracked.
