Applies To: Dynamics 365 (online), Dynamics 365 (on-premises), Dynamics CRM 2016, Dynamics CRM Online

People can use Microsoft Dynamics 365 App for Outlook to tap the power of Microsoft Dynamics 365 while using Outlook on the desktop, web, or tablet. For example, view information about email or appointment recipients, or link an Outlook email or appointment to a Microsoft Dynamics 365 record such as an opportunity, account, or case. To learn more about what Microsoft Dynamics 365 App for Outlook offers, see the Dynamics 365 App for Outlook User's Guide.

Important

This page describes how to use Dynamics 365 App for Outlook with Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2016. For information on the version of Dynamics 365 App for Outlook that works with the Dynamics 365 (online), version 9.0, see Deploy Dynamics 365 App for Outlook.

Dynamics 365 App for Outlook isn’t the same thing as Dynamics 365 for Outlook. As of the December 2016 update for Dynamics 365 (online and on-premises), Microsoft Dynamics 365 App for Outlook paired with server-side synchronization is the preferred way to integrate Microsoft Dynamics 365 with Outlook. If you are using Dynamics 365 App for Outlook and Dynamics 365 for Outlook at the same time, choose one or the other for tracking. We do not support tracking in both simultaneously. For information on the Dynamics 365 for Outlook add-in, see the Dynamics 365 for Outlook User’s Guide.

Delegated users can not use Dynamics 365 App for Outlook to track emails. We suggest using folder-level tracking or automatic tracking for delegated users.

There are two ways to install Microsoft Office: using a Windows Installer (MSI) version or a Click-to-Run (C2R) version of Office. You might have issues accessing Microsoft Dynamics 365 in the Add-ins area of Outlook if you don't have the necessary updates for your installation version. For more information, see Issue when trying to access Dynamics 365 within the Add-ins area of Outlook.

Deploy Dynamics 365 App for Outlook

After setting up server-side synchronization and setting the required privileges, you can push Dynamics 365 App for Outlook to some or all users, or you can have users install it themselves as needed.

Note

If you're on Dynamics 365 (on-premises), see the section below: To deploy to Dynamics 365 on-premises users

To push the app to users

  1. Go to Settings > Dynamics 365 App for Outlook.

  2. In the Getting Started with Dynamics 365 App for Outlook screen, under Add for Eligible Users (you may have to click Settings if you’re opening this screen for the second or subsequent time), select the Automatically add the app to Outlook check box if you want to have users get the app automatically. If a user has the required privileges and email is synchronized through server-side synchronization, you won’t have to do anything more to push the app to them. For example, if you add the required privileges to the Salesperson role, and then assign this role to a new user, they’ll automatically get the app.

  3. Do one of the following:

    • To push the app to all eligible users, click Add App for All Eligible Users.

    • To push the app to certain users, select those users in the list, and then click Add App to Outlook.

    Tip

    If the list shows that a user is pending or hasn’t been added, you can click the Learn more link next to the user to find more information about status.

  4. When you’re done, click Save.

To have users install the app themselves

  1. Users click the Settings button Settings button, and then click Apps for Dynamics 365.

  2. In the Apps for Dynamics 365 screen, under Dynamics 365 App for Outlook, users click Add app to Outlook.

Note

Users can also disable or remove the add-in themselves, if needed. For more information, see the Dynamics 365 App for Outlook User’s Guide.

To deploy to Dynamics 365 on-premises users

Follow these steps if you're using Dynamics 365 on-premises.

Troubleshooting installation problems

If you or your users have trouble installing Dynamics 365 App for Outlook, it may be because their Exchange mailbox is currently linked to another Dynamics 365 organization. An Exchange mailbox (email address) can only synchronize appointments, contacts, and tasks with one organization, and a user that belongs to that organization can only synchronize appointments, contacts, and tasks with one Exchange mailbox. You can overwrite the setting stored in Exchange if you want to change the primary synchronizing organization. For more information, see this KB article.
