Connecting your Outlook email

Last updated: August 31, 2026

Connect Outlook so Highlight can reference your email as context for your meetings and tasks.

Supported: Outlook (Work/School) and Outlook (Personal).

Set up the integration

  1. Open Highlight and go to Settings.

  2. In the left sidebar, under Connections, select Integrations.

  3. Under Add Integrations, find Outlook and click the + button on its card.

  4. A Microsoft sign-in window opens. Sign in to the email account you want to connect.

  5. Review the access Highlight requests, then click Approve (or Accept).

  6. You'll be returned to Highlight automatically. Outlook now appears under Active Integrations.

What you can do once connected

  • Reference relevant emails as context for meetings and tasks.

  • Search across the mailbox you've connected.

Heads up:  If your account is managed by an employer (a work or enterprise plan), an administrator may need to approve Highlight before you can connect. If you see an “approval required” message, see Integrations and Admin Approval for what to send your admin.

Manage or disconnect

Open the ⋮ menu on the Outlook card under Active Integrations to adjust access, reconnect, or remove the integration.
