          Starting in Winter ’21, Lightning Sync isn’t available to new Salesforce customers. If you’re on Lightning Sync, use the Lightning Sync migration assistant for a seamless transition to Einstein Activity Capture, our long-term solution for syncing contacts and events between Microsoft® or Google applications and Salesforce.

          In October 2026, Microsoft 365 replaces Exchange Web Service (EWS) with Microsoft Graph API. We recommend taking this opportunity to transition from Lightning Sync to Einstein Activity Capture with Graph API or another supported connection method. See Upgrade Microsoft Office 365 Authentication Method to Microsoft Graph in Einstein Activity Capture.

          1. From Setup, enter Sync in the Quick Find box, then select Outlook Integration and Sync.
          2. Select Let users sync contacts, events, or both between Microsoft Exchange and Salesforce to enable Lightning Sync.
          3. Click Let users sync contacts, events, or both between Microsoft Exchange and Salesforce to see additional setup steps.
          4. Select OAuth 2.0 as your preferred connection method.
          5. Have your Office 365 global administrator log in to your Office 365 account.
          6. When the Microsoft Azure™ login page opens, accept Lightning Sync access to your account by following the prompts until you’re directed back to Salesforce.
          7. From Salesforce, under Provide your Office 365 ID, click Connect.
