enabling a user’s mailbox

 

Navigate to the Advanced Settings from your akoyaGO CRM:

 

 

Once the new Advanced Settings tab loads:

• Click on the dropdown arrow next to “Settings
• Select “Email Server Profiles” 
• Click “Microsoft Exchange Online” 

 

 

 

Once the Microsoft Exchange Online window pops-up:

• Click on Mailboxes on the right-hand side 
• On the next pop-up window, scroll until you find the new user
• Open the User card by clicking on their Name

 

• Click the Approve Email button in the top right
• Click on Test & Enable Mailboxes

 

Note: The Test & Enable Mailboxes process can take several minutes, and a page refresh (Ctrl+F5) may be needed to check if the run was successful.

 

Once the Test & Enable Mailboxes process has completed, the top two fields (incoming emails & outgoing email) should show “Success.” Depending on your Server, the "Appointments, Contacts, etc" field may or may not be successful. 

 

 

final connection to outlook

 

After the mailbox has been successfully enabled in the akoyaGO settings, you’ll need to finish adding the Dynamics Outlook App to the user.

 

Click on the environment link in the top left corner (akoyaGO or akoyaGO with Accounting) then select the Dynamics 365 App for Outlook tile (Tiles can look different then shown below).

 

 

Once the following screen pops up:

• Search for the user and check the box next to their name
• Click the Add App to Outlook button
• Wait until the Status shows “Added to Outlook” (You may need to back out of this window, then back in if the status hasn’t changed in a couple minutes)
• Click the Save button
