How to connect Outlook via Office 365 Connect?

The easiest way to use your Outlook email in La Growth Machine is via our native synchronization with Office 365

Head to the Identity Section and Select Outlook when connecting your Email

You'll be redirected to the Outlook Connect page. Select your email and enter your password.

Grant permissions to La Growth Machine and you'll be set!

All good!

How to connect Outlook via SMTP?

Connecting an Outlook account via SMTP will work in three steps :

  1. Enabling “Authenticated SMTP” in your Microsoft 365 Admin Center (3min setup)

  2. Disabling Access management for Azure resources (1min)

  3. Login within La Growth Machine via the Automatic SMTP setup feature (1min setup)

You must have Admin access for the first two steps!

Enabling “Authenticated SMTP” in your Microsoft 365 Admin Center

Enabling “Authenticated SMTP” will allow your account to use the SMTP protocol that La Growth Machine will use to send and synchronize your email account.

If you don’t enable it, you’ll have a “Wrong Host/Port” error while attempting to set up your email in La Growth Machine

You need to activate the “Authenticated SMTP” feature in your Microsoft 365 Admin Center to fix this issue. To do so, head to your Microsoft Admin Center and click on the user you want to connect in LGM (as seen below)

On there, click on “Email” then “Manage Email Apps”

Finally, enable “Authenticated SMTP” and save changes

Disabling Access management for Azure resources

You also need to disable Access Management for Azure resources. Head to your Azure Security Setting and select “No” on Access Management for Azure resources

Login within La Growth Machine via the Automatic SMTP setup feature

Now, go back to La Growth Machine. Enter your logins and hit "Automatic setup". La Growth Machine will automatically identify your IMAP/SMTP configuration.

Check the setups and you're good to go!

It’s up to you now!

Your account is finally connected - you're a few steps away from launching your first multichannel campaigns. Here’s some more reading for you :
