2-Way Email Sync for Outlook

Connect Outlook to BizStackPro so you can send, receive, and log emails in one place with privacy controls and attachment support.

Quick Answer

How do you connect Outlook to BizStackPro with 2-way email sync?

Go to Settings → Profile → Email (2-way sync), select Outlook, click Connect, sign in to your Outlook account, grant the requested permissions, and confirm the connected email address.

What 2-Way Email Sync Does

You may be sending emails from Outlook, but tracking those conversations inside your CRM can become disconnected.

Two-way email sync connects your personal Outlook mailbox to BizStackPro so emails you send or receive with contacts can be logged to the contact record and visible inside your CRM inbox.

This helps keep important conversations organized in one place instead of scattered across separate tools and tabs.

Once Outlook is connected, you can use the sync for personal conversations and follow-ups while keeping campaigns and automated workflows on your account-level email provider.

Personal conversations and automated email use different sending paths

The original guide explains that 2-way Outlook sync is intended for personal email conversations, while workflows and campaigns typically use the account-level email provider.

Before You Begin

Make sure you have the information and access needed to connect Outlook before opening the 2-way sync settings.

  • Sign in to the BizStackPro account where you want email conversations logged.
  • Make sure you can sign in to the Outlook account you want to connect.
  • Be prepared to grant the requested Outlook permissions.
  • Confirm which Outlook email address should be connected.
  • Have a contact available so you can send a test email after connecting.

Step-by-Step: Connect Outlook for 2-Way Email Sync

Connect your Outlook mailbox from your profile settings, then test the connection with a contact.

Open Settings

From your BizStackPro account, open Settings.

Open Your Profile

Select Profile from the available settings.

Open Email 2-Way Sync

Find and open the Email (2-way sync) setting.

Select Outlook

Choose Outlook as the email provider and click Connect.

Sign In and Grant Permissions

Sign in to your Outlook account and grant the requested permissions so BizStackPro can establish the connection.

Confirm the Connected Address

Confirm the connected Outlook email address. Update the connection if you are switching to a different inbox.

Send a Test Email

After connecting, send a test email to a contact from inside BizStackPro to confirm that the first conversation thread begins syncing correctly.

How 2-Way Outlook Sync Works

Understanding which messages sync and which sending provider is used helps you know what to expect after Outlook is connected.

Initiating the Sync

Send the first email from BizStackPro to a contact to establish syncing for that conversation thread.

Thread Syncing

Once a thread is synced, replies in that conversation can continue syncing automatically.

Bulk Emails

If you use a different email ID in the From field, BizStackPro uses the account-level provider for sending.

Workflows and Campaigns

Automated emails such as workflows and campaigns typically send through your account-level provider instead of your personal Outlook inbox.

Use Outlook sync for personal conversations

The original guide recommends using Outlook sync for personal conversations and follow-ups while keeping automated email and campaigns on the account-level provider.

Enhanced Privacy

To protect internal communication, BizStackPro typically syncs emails only when the conversation includes at least one non-system contact.

Personal emails exchanged only between system users are not synced. This helps prevent internal team conversations from being automatically logged as contact conversations.

Attachment Support

Incoming Attachments

Incoming email attachments can be logged automatically when they are up to 25MB.

Outgoing Attachments

Outgoing attachments can also be logged when they are up to 25MB.

Attachments larger than 25MB will not sync

If a file is larger than the supported limit, use a shared file link instead of attaching the file directly to the email.

Best Practices and Important Notes

Send a Test Message After Connecting
Why: Sending a test email to a contact helps confirm that the connection and initial conversation thread are syncing as expected.
Reconnect Outlook if Sync Is Disconnected
Why: If the sync becomes disconnected, new messages stop syncing until the Outlook connection is restored.
Remember That Not Every Email Thread Will Sync
Why: Only conversations that meet the syncing conditions will be logged to contact records.
Keep Attachments Within the Supported Limit
Why: Attachments larger than 25MB will not sync.
