Interaction between InLoox and Outlook

With InLoox, you have the possibility to access important functions like your inbox and calendar without having to explicitly open Microsoft Outlook. By synchronizing mails and appointments, you can access all relevant information directly in InLoox and continue using it without having to switch between different applications. This enables you to work particularly efficiently. You can access your Outlook information either via:

Track in InLoox Web App

or

InLoox for Outlook Modern Add-in
