Using Contract Sync


What is Contract Sync?

Our Microsoft 365 app ensures you never miss another contract by automatically importing contracts from Outlook. By connecting your Microsoft 365 and Pivott accounts, we can automatically detect when an email contains a contract attachment from a vendor in your vendor directory or from a trusted email you set. Then, the contract is automatically imported into your Pivott instance!
