Syncing Your Outlook Emails, Calendar & Contacts

• Before you sync your calendar with CRM, we recommend you take some time to consider the configuration to avoid data being incorrectly shared with CRM.
• You can choose whether and when to sync your Appointments, Contacts and Emails from Outlook.
• To avoid the sync of personal Appointments and Contacts, set the PRIVATE flag on the record/s in Outlook. Tall Emu will still sync a blank Appointment (marked as private) to denote your unavailability, but not the details of the event. Private Contacts will not be synced to your CRM. 
• To set your Appointments and Contacts as Private, open the record in Outlook and click on the Private button.

Configuring your sync options in Outlook

• The options menu will appear:

Outlook calendar & email sync options

The options are mainly self-explanatory. We would recommend you select the following options:

• Auto-Sync Calendar – it will then allow your outlook to auto sync meetings.
• Sync meetings from CRM to Outlook, and Outlook to CRM – it’s better to create them in CRM, but many users prefer to continue doing this in Outlook.
• Contact Sync from CRM to Outlook only – to avoid accidental cluttering of data.
• For the Email options – we generally recommend manually syncing emails that are important, to avoid cluttering up the database with low-value data. For example, if you share 20 emails with someone trying to arrange a meeting, that’s probably not worth syncing, but an email with important project information is.
• If you want to Auto Sync – we’d recommend using the Email Folders – drag messages in there and Inbox Insights will sync in the background.
• Click OK to save your changes.
