How Syncing Works 
- Sync interval: Items sync about every 10 minutes based on recent changes.
- Initial sync: Pulls items from the past 60 days from Pipeline into Outlook.
- Ongoing syncs: Each run checks updates from the last 20 minutes in both systems.
- Categorization required: Tasks, events, and contacts must be categorized as Pipeline in Outlook to sync.
Using the Microsoft Outlook Calendar & Contact Sync
Syncing Contacts - On setup, contacts sync between Outlook and Pipeline automatically.
- Outlook applies the Pipeline category to contacts coming from Pipeline.
- To sync Outlook contacts into Pipeline, contacts must:
- Have a valid email address.
- Be categorized as Pipeline.
- Contact updates sync both ways, using the most recent change.
- Tasks and events sync bi‑directionally between Outlook and Pipeline.
- New items created in Outlook must be categorized as Pipeline to sync.
- Updates use the most recent version. Deletions are not mirrored; the deleted item simply stops syncing.
- Recurring items:
- ✅ Supported from Pipeline → Outlook.
- ❌ Not supported from Outlook → Pipeline.
- Use the Pipeline Outlook add‑in to file emails to the associated Pipeline contact.
- You can save:
- Emails (sent or received)
- Attachments
