Add users from the social network to Outlook emails

When you compose a Microsoft Outlook message, we can search Profiles for a name and insert it into one of the address fields in the message.

This feature is not available for IBM SmartCloud users.

1. Create a message.

2. Click IBM Connections > Insert Profile Email.

3. If we connect to more than one IBM Connections site, select a site to look for the person.

4. Enter a name or email and then select the user. Or click the arrow icon and select from people you have recently interacted with, people we are following, or people in the network.

5. Select an action:

   • Add to TO

   • Add to CC

   • Add to BCC

   • Add to Subject

   • Message (to add the address to the body of the message)

   We can also click to view their business card.

6. Check the Add to Outlook Contacts option to add this user to Outlook contacts.
