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.

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.

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.
