Common questions
Can you connect Lightspeed to Outlook?
Yes. Schakel connects through the official APIs of Lightspeed 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 Lightspeed 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 happens on a refund or partial cancellation in Lightspeed?
It comes across, so Outlook matches what was actually settled and you correct nothing by hand.
What does connecting Lightspeed 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 Lightspeed 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 Lightspeed 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 Lightspeed to Outlook?
You give Schakel access to Lightspeed 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.
Missing something you need?
