Installing the Nutshell add-in for Outlook will provide plenty of useful information about your Companies, People, and Leads from directly within your inbox. There's no need to switch between windows just to see your upcoming tasks, the last activity on a timeline, or the value of your open leads.

Click on anyone listed to get more information. You can view information such as your Nutshell description, upcoming tasks and activities, open leads, and logged information from the Nutshell timeline.

FAQ

Why is my add-in blank when I click on certain emails?

Your Outlook add-in may appear blank if Nutshell recognizes the email address of other users on your account.

What if I don't see the Store in Outlook?

Currently, Microsoft's Outlook only supports the use of add-ins for email accounts configured with IMAP, and must be an account hosted in Office 365, or Exchange 2013 or later.

I'm using Outlook on a Mac and don't see Nutshell as an available add-in. Where is it?

If you're using the Outlook for Mac application, you'll find Nutshell CRM under "Admin-managed" add-ins.
