By adding the Apptivo Add-in in your Outlook account, you can effortlessly associate emails from Outlook with Apptivo. The emails will be associated based on the email address. Not all emails will be associated automatically by adding an Apptivo Add-In. You can associate the desired emails alone with Apptivo.

Steps to associate emails

  • In your Outlook account, select an email to view the email information. Here, select the More Actions icon.
