TIP: kvCORE is not downloading or saving any of your emails. It only ever shows you what matches the lead you're reviewing. InsideRE also does not allow any other users access to your account. You are the only one within your brokerage that will be able to access your emails.

You may encounter an administrative error when trying to connect Office365/Outlook. If you see this message, then the Office365 Administrator needs to allow kvCORE permissions. Click Here for instructions.

You can quickly and easily change your Sync at any time, simply click on the mail icon and click 'Outlook Settings' at the bottom.

Enabling the email sync will load your unread emails on the toolbar at the top of your account so that you can quickly access them.

Someone who is not logged into your Outlook account may not access it (even if they're logged into your kvCORE account).

You may select whether you'd like to manually or automatically push kvCORE contacts into Outlook using the 'Manual' or 'Always' buttons.

The first time you enable the sync, kvCORE will pull all of the contacts you have in your Outlook account to itself, with as much information as it can bring, including small details which will appear in the contact's timeline in kvCORE.

The Source of the contacts will be marked as 'Office 365' and the status will be the selected status from the selector in your Outlook settings.

The sync is ongoing, meaning that whenever new contacts are added to your Outlook, kvCORE will pull them in whenever the sync runs, which is about once per hour.

Note: When contacts are pulled in from Outlook, the system will check to see if a sync for each contact currently exists. If there is a match, the contact sync will automatically stop here.

If there is no match found, the system will attempt to sync the contact with an existing one that matches the email or phone number of the contact being synced. If it cannot find an existing contact with matching information, the system will create a new contact with the following information included:

If you have chosen to manually sync contacts from kvCORE to Outlook you can easily do so from the platform (otherwise, if you automatically chose to sync your contacts you won't need to follow these steps as it will be completed for you).

First, in your Smart CRM, select which contacts you want to push to Outlook using the checkboxes to the far left of each one in the list, then select 'More Actions' and 'Sync with Outlook Contacts.'
​

At any time you are viewing the details of a contact, you may also choose to individually sync that contact, by using the 'More Actions' menu on the far right-hand side of the profile and selecting 'Sync with Outlook Contacts.'

Note: As long as the contact's status is not Archived, the system will attempt to export all contacts from an agent that has never been synced with Google or Outlook. The following information will be exported:

If a contact has already been synced with Outlook from kvCORE, new information will not be sent to Outlook automatically. The contact will need to be manually synced via More Actions > Sync with Outlook Contacts.
