Keep E-mail and Outlook updated automatically.
This connector fixes that, and we build it on request: what happens in E-mail lands in Outlook by itself, in the shape Outlook expects. Tell us what you need and we agree exactly what should travel.

Common questions
Can you connect E-mail to Outlook?
Yes. Schakel connects through the official APIs of E-mail and Outlook, so you install nothing on your own server and nothing travels outside those two parties.
Is a ticket created automatically in Outlook?
Yes. What arrives from E-mail becomes a ticket in Outlook for the right customer, so a question does not sit somewhere unanswered.
Does Outlook recognise the sender as an existing customer?
The sender is looked up by email in Outlook and attached to the existing contact; with no match, a new contact is created.
What does connecting E-mail and Outlook cost?
You start free and only pay once the connector is really running. After that the same tiers apply as for any other connector, based on how much runs through it each month.
How often does E-mail sync with Outlook?
That depends on your tier: hourly on the free tier up to real time on the unlimited tier. You can always start a sync yourself as well.
What if E-mail or Outlook is briefly unavailable?
Nothing gets lost. Schakel retries later and the log shows exactly what happened, so at most you notice something coming through a little later.
How do I connect E-mail to Outlook?
You give Schakel access to E-mail and Outlook once and pick what should travel. We set it up together with you, so no technical knowledge is needed, and after that it runs by itself.
Is my E-mail data safe in this connector?
Your credentials are stored encrypted and we only process what is needed to update Outlook. We sell nothing on and comply with the GDPR.
Missing something you need?
Tell us what E-mail and Outlook should do for you. If it is not in here yet, that is usually because nobody has asked. We build on request and we reply within 24 hours.
