  6. Click on Get Started and give Einstein Activity Capture permission to access either your email, calendar, contacts, or all three. You will then be prompted to select your email and calendar provider. Currently the supported providers are Gmail, Microsoft Outlook, and Microsoft Exchange.

    Following this, you will be asked to name this configuration. The name should be something to help you remember what this sync is accomplishing, I.E. “Email and Calendar Sync”. You will now have the option to select which components you would like to sync with your Apto.

    For the best experience, we recommend only syncing your calendar.

    Both Gmail and Outlook have excellent tools to sync your email with Apto in a controlled manner. The direction of the sync will dictate if events on your Apto calendar will be reflected on your Outlook or Google calendar and vice-versa.
