Introduction to Outlook Integration

The Outlook Integration Tool for use with InEight Document is a plug-in that enables users to view, send, and receive their InEight Document mail and Transmittals from within MS Outlook, rather than having to login to InEight Document. All actions relating to InEight Document mail/transmittals performed within MS Outlook are then stored back in the InEight Document system automatically.
