I know that this post may be a little late to the game since Lightning for Outlook came out back last summer (Summer ’16) but I think it an important topic that could relieve many of the stresses I find people have with Salesforce for Outlook.

• Salesforce Lightning Outlook Integration
• Salesforce For Outlook Download

First, let me address the question I know you have, Lightning for Outlook DOES work with Salesforce Classic and of course, Lightning.

Salesforce Lightning Outlook Integration

I find that there are many benefits to point out with the Lightning for Outlook. The first being the fact that is it not an application that you have to download onto your desktop, which is a good thing as I have seen those downloads cause quite a bit of trouble. Lightning for Outlook is an add-in for Office 365.

LinkPoint Connect: Desktop Edition is a PC-installed application that allows users to work with and create Salesforce data directly within Microsoft Outlook. To get started, users must download the LinkPoint Connect Installer, which is accessible via the Salesforce AppExchange, the LinkPoint360 website, or a direct link provided by a. Salesforce today the general availability of Lightning for Outlook add-in to all Salesforce customers with the necessary licenses. This add-in is supported in Outlook 2013 for Windows, Outlook 2016 for Windows, Outlook 2016 for Mac or Outlook on the web with either Office 365, Exchange 2013 or Exchange 2016 mailboxes. Salesforce Lightning for Outlook 2016 for MAC - stuck on store when trying to download Hey, salesforce has it's plugin available also for MAC users (for couple of months now).

Looking at Lighting for Outlook (L4O) and Salesforce for Outlook (S4O) I think these are the combinations that can work (provided you use the right versions, but both Outlook 365 and on-premise Exchange Server can be used): Outlook on Windows PC (YES: L4O, S4O) Outlook on Mac (YES: L4O) Apple Mail on Mac (NO) Outlook Web App - Chrome (YES: L4O). Lightning for Outlook Panel (Salesforce Add-In for Outlook) Lightning for Outlook Launch Button (opens the Lightning for Outlook panel) So far, nothing too complicated. But you might be looking at that Lightning for Outlook panel and thinking, 'Well that looks a little boring' Don't you worry! I've got many, many more tricks up my sleeve to.

Lightning for Outlook is an add-in for Office 365. Your IT team can set it up in such a way that users don’t even need to download or install it themselves, they can just see it appear, like magic! Another lovely feature is that it can work on both Mac and Windows, a serious downfall for the Salesforce for Outlook app is that it is only for Windows.

Next on my list is something that may not be for all users, but if it is could be quite impactful. As of July 22nd, Salesforce will not longer support TLS 1.0 and today when I ran a login history report I saw that anyone that was logging in via Salesforce for Outlook was going over TLS 1.0 – not good! Confirming via the documentation and found that anyone still running the v2.9.3 after Jully 22nd will run into issues as TLS 1.0 will no longer be supported and therefore this version will no longer be supported. To learn more click here. You will not have the same issues with Lightning for Outlook as there are no manual updates to maintain, Salesforce does the work for you.

Lastly, is the design, oh such a lovely design upgrade. Lightning for Outlook, as expected looks like Lightning and has the grace of the UI of it.

Whereas Salesforce for Outlook has its own more outdated design:

If you haven’t figured my decision from above then I will note it shall be Lightning for Outlook. It looks lovely and it works smoothly like a mini-Salesforce at your Outlook fingertips.

P.S. for those of you who may have had issues with the lack of being able to attach to a record when composing like you could in Salesforce for Outlook, that has been resolved the Summer ’17 release.
