  17. After completing the previous steps, enter the following values in the Outlook Auto-Import section of your Satuit Global Setting (System Administration > System Configuration)
    1. Directory (Tenant) ID
    2. Application (Client) ID
    3. Client Secret Value Key

To help limit/eliminate internal emails created, administrators should make sure that their own email domain(s) are listed as Ignored Email Addresses from Tools->System Administrator->System Configuration->Email Add-In Rules.

To help minimize the number of unnecessary documents created administrators should review the list of Ignored File Types from Tools->System Administrator->System Configuration->Email Add-In Rules window. Our recommendation would be to ignore the following file types below. This should skip Satuit Document Records getting created non-essential attachments such as calendar invitations, images in signatures, and voicemail messages automatically. (Documents with these extensions can still be added using the Outlook Add-in if selected manually.)

  • .com
  • .exe
  • .gif
  • .ics
  • .jpg
  • .mp4
  • .png
  • .txt
  • .wmz

Please reach out to Satuit Client Services representative should any additional questions arise during the Outlook Auto-Import setup process.

NOTE: This feature requires an Microsoft Outlook 365 Account and SatuitCRM v16.8+.
