Keep Outlook and Trengo updated automatically.
Today someone reads the message, and after that it still has to land somewhere else before anything happens. This connector fixes that, and we build it on request: what happens in Outlook lands in Trengo by itself, in the shape Trengo expects. Tell us what you need and we agree exactly what should travel.

Common questions
Can you connect Outlook to Trengo?
Yes. Schakel connects through the official APIs of Outlook and Trengo, so you install nothing on your own server and nothing travels outside those two parties.
Is a ticket created automatically in Trengo?
Yes. What arrives from Outlook becomes a ticket in Trengo for the right customer, so a question does not sit somewhere unanswered.
Does Trengo recognise the sender as an existing customer?
The sender is looked up by email in Trengo and attached to the existing contact; with no match, a new contact is created.
How are the Outlook fields mapped to Trengo?
You set once which field from Outlook belongs where in Trengo. After that every new submission lands in the right place automatically.
What does connecting Outlook and Trengo 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 Outlook sync with Trengo?
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 someone fills in the Outlook form twice?
Then it checks by email whether the contact already exists, so you do not create a duplicate in Trengo.
What if Outlook or Trengo 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.
Missing something you need?
