Outlook Online Synchronizer

Version 3.2.292 (13-05-2020)

New Feature

  • SuperOffice invites support
    SuperOffice introduces the SuperOffice invites. It is one of the most requested features and it enables the user to send out invites to participants which will be recognized by the external mail systems like Outlook and Google, the invites can be accepted just like regular Outlook or Google invitations.
    For customers using the Synchronizer, there is a complication to using invitations and that is that it would lead to duplicates because both Outlook and SuperOffice will create appointments and both will be synchronized as individual appointments by the Synchronizer.
    Together with Superoffice, we have created a new version of the Synchronizer which can cope with the invitations and within SuperOffice there is a safety mechanism in place to safeguard the users from getting duplicates or out of sync appointments. More info
  • In the Sync admin we have added the option in External Settings to "Set invited participants in Appointment and Task in SuperOffice". More info
