With this update, we added a new integration that lets you sync emails from Windows-based versions of Microsoft Outlook to AgencyBloc. As part of this integration, we made some UI updates to related pages and renamed our BlocMail feature. See below for more details.
Outlook Email Sync
New integration
We built a Microsoft Outlook Add-In that you can use to sync Outlook emails to AgencyBloc. For setup instructions and system requirements, visit this Help article.
With this integration:
- Sync your Outlook emails as activities to create assignable to-dos and reminders.
- Sync as emails to create copies that include the original message and attachments.
- Synced activities and emails will automatically associate to contact records in AgencyBloc.
- Download the original Outlook email from a synced activity or email in AgencyBloc, and pick up where you left off in your Outlook email client.
