When installing the add-in, you have the flexibility to choose between two distribution methods: at the individual level or the organizational level. To learn how to distribute the Sendent for Outlook at an organizational level, please refer to the use guide here.

Distribution on an Individual Level

Distributing the Sendent add-in at an individual level allows each user to install the add-in independently. It’s ideal for users who need to customize their setup or for smaller teams where individual preferences are important.

You need to have a Microsoft 365 account. If you use free Microsoft email services as Outlook.com, Live.com, Hotmail.com etc. then click here.
