Outlook Add-in Development for AdSales CRM Integration
Evolve Blue developed a Microsoft Outlook Add-in for Atex that integrates an AdSales CRM with the inbox, bringing email syncing, task management, and bi-directional event synchronization into one workflow.
Technology Stack
01 Overview
Atex engagement context.
Atex needed to connect Microsoft Outlook with its AdSales CRM so users could work with customer and sales activity from the inbox.
The integration centered on three connected workflows: email syncing, task management, and events synchronized in both directions.
Evolve Blue developed the Outlook Add-in as a focused extension of the AdSales CRM experience.
02 The Challenge
Atex constraints to solve.
- Email and AdSales CRM activity needed to stay connected across separate systems.
- Users needed access to task management from within Outlook.
- Calendar events required synchronization in both directions.
- The CRM integration had to fit naturally into the existing Outlook workflow.
03 The Solution
Atex solution architecture.
Evolve Blue developed a Microsoft Outlook Add-in that connects the inbox with the Atex AdSales CRM.
The add-in coordinates email syncing and task management while keeping events aligned between Outlook and the CRM in both directions.
This integration brings core AdSales CRM activity into the email environment users already work in.
