BuzzStream currently does not fully support exchange connections. However, many customers have successfully integrated their exchange email accounts with BuzzStream by applying the instructions and information found here.
How we connect to the Exchange Server:
To activate Outreach, you need to add an email account to BuzzStream. Each user can add their own account. Setting up email in BuzzStream has two parts:
Automatic Email Tracking allows us to track emails to and from contacts.
The Outgoing SMTP server is a requirement for sending Outreach.
BuzzStream connects to Incoming Mail via IMAP and will connect to Outgoing Mail via SMTP.
What BuzzStream does when connected:
BuzzStream connects to the incoming server using IMAP to index email messages that match contacts’ email addresses in BuzzStream. Nonmatching emails are ignored. The Outreach Module connects through the SMTP server so that users can send emails through their email account to contacts from BuzzStream.
Your Exchange Server settings requirements for connecting to BuzzStream:
This information will help detail to your IT staff or provider what settings and permissions the Exchange server needs to allow BuzzStream to connect to your email.
1. Make sure that BuzzStream's server can access your Exchange server. If you have a Firewall or IP Address specific permissions for accessing the Exchange Server, you will need to set permissions to allow two-way traffic for the IP Addresses of BuzzStream's Servers:
23.23.157.152
23.23.157.244
54.243.53.148
23.23.159.203
54.225.68.137
2. Enable IMAP connections for the incoming server.
3. Enable email forwarding for the SMTP server, also called "mail relay". This will allow you to send mail in BuzzStream through your exchange email account.
