Pro-Tips! 

  • If you are syncing a Microsoft email, your email must be hosted by Microsoft. It is possible to use an email not hosted by Microsoft in applications such as Microsoft Outlook, so double-check where your email is hosted if you encounter errors with a Microsoft email.
  • All Microsoft accounts except for Exchange servers will work
  • Supported Microsoft email services: hotmail.com, live.com, msn.com, outlook.com, Exchange Online, Office 365 and Passport.com
  • No past emails will get synced retroactively
  • Emails FROM outlook will be automatically saved to Infusionsoft
  • The system will sync every 5 to 10 minutes. If there is nothing to sync it will read "last synced x days ago" which is not the last time it checked -it checked about 5 to 10 minutes ago, but that is the last time it found something to sync.
