Quick Start Guide with Outlook Non 365

1. Invitation Email

The first step to add a new user must be completed by an admin of the account. Within the ContactMonkey dashboard, you will find a "User" option. Clicking in to that will bring up the full list of emails with a ContactMonkey license. In the righthand corner, select "Invite a User". From there, input their details and send the invite.

3. ContactMonkey Dashboard

Now you have activated your license and accessed your ContactMonkey account. From here you can create templates, create event registrations and manage all of your internal communication metrics.

We recommend book marking this tab for ease of access in the future. You can bookmark the tab by clicking on the star in the top right hand side of your browser.

4. Install the ContactMonkey Plugin into Outlook

At this point, your new user can create engaging and interactive communication templates. Next, they will want the ability to send and track them so they can understand how your colleagues are engaging with them. To do this, visit this link and click “Outlook Add-in Desktop”:

Follow the download instructions.

5.Connecting with Outlook

Once the plug in is installed into your new user's Outlook account, they will need to log into the sidebar. Open up Outlook and sign into the sidebar using your login credentials:
