Updated over a week ago

In this article we will explain how you quickly and easily can establish a synchronization between your Office365 inbox and Carerix to make sure your email can be received in Carerix properly.

Settings in your Office365 account

Before you start with the steps to enable the synchronization in Carerix please make sure your user account has the right permissions in Office365. In general users individually or groups need to have permission to share their Office365 email with Carerix. There is a multitude of settings on the Office365 side that can affect the proper functioning of email synchronization. Carerix cannot provide support on your Office365 account settings. If you experience any issue please refer to your Office365 system administrator.

Establish the synchronization

  • Via your name in the upper right corner of your Carerix screen, go to the user menu and click on My account.

  • In the My account screen scroll down and look for the Email settings panel
