Connecting Outlook lets you manage all your customer emails inside DreamFlow. Outbound emails are sent through Microsoft's servers, and replies sync back automatically so you never miss a conversation.
Before You Start
- A Microsoft 365 or Outlook.com account
- Admin or Owner role in your DreamFlow workspace
- Pop-ups allowed for
login.microsoftonline.com
Step-by-Step Setup
- Navigate to Settings > Integrations in your DreamFlow dashboard.
- Find the Outlook card and click Connect.
- Sign in with your Microsoft account when the Microsoft login window appears.
- Review the permissions DreamFlow requests:
- Read and write mail -- allows DreamFlow to sync your mailbox and send emails on your behalf.
- Read contacts -- optional, lets DreamFlow match incoming emails to existing contacts.
- Click Accept to authorize. You will be returned to DreamFlow.
- A green Connected badge confirms the integration is active.
Important
If your organization uses Microsoft 365 with admin-managed consent, your IT administrator may need to approve DreamFlow's app registration before you can connect.
Configure Sync Settings
- Go to Settings > Integrations > Outlook > Sync Settings.
- Choose Two-way sync (recommended) or Outbound only.
- Optionally select which Outlook folders to sync (Inbox, Sent, or specific folders).
- Click Save Settings.
Sending Emails from DreamFlow
With Outlook connected, emails sent from DreamFlow are routed through Microsoft's servers:
- Open any contact record and click Email.
- Your connected Outlook address appears as the sender.
- Compose and click Send. The email is delivered via Outlook and tracked in DreamFlow.
Tip
You can connect both Gmail and Outlook to the same DreamFlow workspace. When composing an email, choose which account to send from using the "From" dropdown.
Troubleshooting
- Admin consent required: Ask your IT admin to approve DreamFlow in the Microsoft 365 admin center under Enterprise Applications.
- Token expired: Microsoft tokens can expire. Click Reconnect in Settings > Integrations > Outlook.
- Partial sync: Verify that the correct folders are selected in your sync settings.
