Our Outlook Add-in is currently in Beta. In order to make it work for your company, there are a few requirements:
- admin role – you need to install a custom app for your users
- permissions – give Actor permissions on behalf of your users
Note: Things might break or not work correctly. We might require later to install / update a new version of the App.
What certain: data security and privacy. Having direct access to emails within Outlook doesn’t change anything about our Privacy Policy and Data Security. Your information is not used for AI training, your emails are not stored on our servers and no human reads your emails.
Steps to install Actor Outlook Add-in.
You will end-up with a sidebar that, when accessed and pinned is like the following.
Step 1. Choose Upload App
With an admin role, go to the following link: https://admin.microsoft.com/#/Settings/IntegratedApps
Click Upload Custom App
Step 2. Choose Office Add-In and the manifest
Upload the manifest.
If you don’t have the manifest, please ask Actor support for the XML file.
(this might be changed in the future).
Step 3. Users
At this point you will need to pre-approve permissions for users in your organization. First select the users you want to be able to use Actor
Step 4. Permissions
Those permissions include the follow:
- access to emails (read write emails, folders and categories/labels)
- user information (name, email)
- calendars and events (read write)
- tasks lists and todos (read write)
If you have questions about how we use those, we provide a description on our website, and can also answer any other detail you are interested in.
Without Permissions Actor will not work.
Finish Deployment
