Connect Your Email (Outlook / Office 365)

1. Open Setup

  • Click the Settings (gear icon) in the top-right corner of Zoho CRM (next to your profile picture)
  • This opens the Setup page

2. Go to Email Settings

  • Under the Channels section, click Email
  • This will open the Email settings page

3. Open Email Configuration

  • You should land on the Email Configuration section by default
  • Click Email to open Configure Email

4. Start Setup

  • If your email is not connected yet:
    • Click Get Started
    • Select Office 365 (for @cliffordpower.com accounts)

5. Choose Connection Type

  • Select:
    • IMAP – OAuth Integration
  • Click Configure

6. Sign Into Microsoft

  • A Microsoft login window will appear
  • Sign in using your Clifford email account
  • Approve any permission requests

7. Confirm Connection

  • After signing in, you will return to Zoho
  • In the Basic Info section:
    • All indicators should show green if the connection is successful

If the Email Is Already Connected but Not Working

From the same Email Configuration screen:

  • Click Update to refresh settings
  • Click Log in Again to reauthenticate with Microsoft

If issues continue:

Notes

  • Email sync depends on matching email addresses in Zoho (Leads, Contacts, etc.)
  • It may take a few minutes for emails to begin appearing after setup
