Outlook Plugin: Overview + Installation Steps

One of our most popular features within our most popular tool is the ability to track your outgoing emails using the Levitate Outlook Plugin.

How does it work?

When you are composing a new email, you can check the "Track with Levitate" checkbox, and the following will happen:

1. Levitate will record a copy of your outgoing email as a note (you can find it in the recipient's profile).
2. Levitate will notify you when the email has been viewed (silently, like a ninja, no read-receipt required). How does this work? We embed an invisible pixel into the email body so when it gets loaded again, we'll count it as read.

In fact, so many of our customers love this feature so much that you can now check a box in Settings to make sure this is always on!

Installation Steps for Office 365 Outlook Webmail

Log in to https://outlook.office.com/mail/

Click into the Apps button on the lefthand navigation

Then you'll click Add apps

When you're there, you can search Levitate

You'll choose Levitate and then choose Add

From there, Levitate will be installed as a plug-in to your Outlook webmail app

From an individual email, you can click into the App button and choose Levitate to log emails and see the sender's Levitate contact information

The Levitate Plugin for Outlook allows you to add contacts, add tags, and key facts without ever leaving your email!

Office 365 Users

If you are an Office365 subscriber, you can click on the "Get Add-ins" button on the Home tab, then search for Levitate to add it.

If you have an older version of Outlook, you might see this icon instead.

Either way works. Once you click on the store, search for Levitate in the search bar and add it.

Once you've added the plugin, just open any email and hit the "View in Levitate" button on the ribbon.

If you don't have Office365, you may need to sign up for a free Microsoft AppSource account and download the plugin from the store.

Exchange and IMAP Users

If you do not see either version of the Microsoft Store, don't worry, you can always download the Levitate COM Plugin here (Windows users only). Follow the wizard, and once the download is complete, just restart Outlook and Levitate will be there.

Track Email with Levitate

Having the Levitate Outlook Plugin is also great for when you are composing an email. For example, if an email you are sending is important, you can check the "Track with Levitate" button, and you will be alerted in a real-time when the recipient opens the email, or if they fail to reply in a week.
