Aptify  includes an add-in plugin for Microsoft Outlook (versions 2007, 2010, 2013, and 2016) that lets users create Aptify Persons and Contact Logs records directly within Outlook without having to access an open Aptify session. You can also configure the add-plugin to automatically create contact logs when a particular account receives or sends an email, which is useful for automated mailboxes.

    For example, Mailbox - User Name\Inbox\NameofFolder OR testuser@domain.com\Inbox\NameofFolder.
