If you wish to automatically attach emails you send to Teamgate contacts' cards and you are using the Outlook email application, you need to set-up the email forwarding rule within the Outlook settings. Not all Outlook versions support the BCC rule! For more information how email forwarding works in Teamgate please see this article.

For sent emails to attach it is needed to setup automatic rule to forward emails to your account's email forwarding address. Simply speaking to automatically attach Teamgate's email forwarding address to the emails' CC/BCC line.

You will find email forwarding address by following these steps:

Navigate to My Profile >My Profile > Email settings > Email integration > copy email forwarding address by clicking copy icon.

Important: Teamgate Support does not provide technical support for configuring on-premises mail servers or third-party products. In the event of an Outlook issue, you should seek support from Microsoft Office. The setup example is prepared using the Outlook 2016 version. With another Outlook version, the settings may differ.
