BuildVision connects to Microsoft 365 and Outlook today. We’re looking at
direct connections for the other major providers. If you’re on something else,
tell us at support@buildvision.io and in the
meantime use forwarding.
Connect your own inbox
1
Open Email Settings
Select your name in the sidebar, then Email Settings.
2
Connect
Choose to connect your email account and sign in to Microsoft. BuildVision
asks only for the access it needs to read the mail it processes.
3
Confirm
Email Settings shows Connected with the address you connected.
Connect a shared mailbox
Most bid desks work out of a shared mailbox rather than a person’s own inbox, so BuildVision can read one on your behalf.1
Connect your own account first
A shared mailbox is read through your account’s access to it, so start with
the steps above.
2
Set the target mailbox
In Email Settings, set the shared mailbox address on your connection.
BuildVision then reads that mailbox instead of your own.
Shared mailboxes are supported on Microsoft only. You need permission to the
shared mailbox in Microsoft 365 before BuildVision can read it. If you don’t
have it, your Microsoft administrator grants it the usual way.
