The Legrand Outlook Add-In enables you to transfer important emails and store them as Activity Notes in Legrand CRM. You can transfer a single email or multiple emails to your CRM database. The Legrand Outlook Add-In offers three transfer options.

- Transfer Selected including attachments: Transfer a single selected email or multiple emails to Legrand CRM. All attachments in the selected emails will be included when you transfer emails to Legrand CRM.
- Transfer Selected excluding attachments: Transfer a single selected email or multiple emails to Legrand CRM. All attachments in the selected emails will be excluded when you transfer emails to Legrand CRM.
- Advanced Transfer: Transfer a single selected email or multiple emails to Legrand CRM. Use the Advanced Transfer function if you want to link the Activity Note to an existing Opportunity. Use the checkbox at the bottom to decide whether you want to include or exclude email attachments in the transfer.
Note: Including the attachments when transferring emails in email transfers will take up more storage space in Legrand CRM. To change your data storage location, go to the Administration panel. Click Data > Attachment Storage. Select the new location and click SAVE.
To transfer an email, go to the section Legrand CRM at the top of your Outlook account. Select the email from your inbox, then click on one of the transfer options. To bulk transfer multiple emails, hold down the Ctrl button on your keyboard and use the cursor to select the emails. After you have selected the multiple emails, click on one of the transfer options.

Advanced Transfer:
The Advanced Transfer function enables you to link an existing Opportunity. Click ‘Select Opportunity’ to link to the Activity Note. To remove a linked Opportunity, click on the minus icon on the right. The Advanced Transfer function also enables you to include or exclude email attachments when transferring to Legrand CRM. Click on the checkbox to include or exclude attachments from your emails.
