Selects an online Outlook 365 account to use in your automation and enables Studio to integrate with Outlook 365.

## Configuring the activity

#### In the body of the activity

* **Account** - Select the account to use.
* **Shared mailbox to use** - Uses a shared mailbox instead of the current email address. Enter an address that you can use.
* **Reference as** - Enter a name by which to refer to the account in the automation project.

**Selecting An Account**

The way you indicate the account to use depends on whether or not the **Use Integration Service** option is selected in the **Properties** panel. When the option is selected, it indicates that the [Integration Service](https://docs.uipath.com/integration-service/automation-cloud/latest) in Automation Cloud manages the connection. When not selected, it indicates you are connecting using an [application added to the Azure AD](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/productivity/configuring-the-azure-ad-for-outlook-365-automation).

**When Using the Integration Service:**

Add a new account or use an account connection you already added to the Integration service.

* If a connection does not already exist, select **Add new account** from the drop-down menu to add a new account connection. A browser window opens and you are prompted to select the account to use and grant the required permissions to UiPath. When the connection is created, the **Default** option is selected in the **Account** drop-down.
* If a connection has already been added, it is automatically detected and displayed in the menu as the **Default** option.

**When Not Using the Integration Service:**

Add a new account or select an account you already added from a Use Outlook 365 activity.

* If you choose to add a new account and the Outlook 365 application and tenant IDs are [added in Orchestrator](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/productivity/adding-app-credentials-for-outlook-365-gmail-in-orchestrator), you are prompted to sign in to your Microsoft account.
* If you choose to add a new account and the Outlook 365 application and tenant IDs are not added in Orchestrator, the **Add Exchange Account** dialog box opens to help you add the account:
  * **Authentication type** - Select one of the following options:
    * **Default** - Uses the UiPath application and tenant ID.
    * **My ID/Tenant** - Fill in the **Application ID** and **Tenant ID (when required)** fields with your organization's own application and tenant IDs.
  * **Use broker** - Add a checkmark to this option to use the Windows Authentication Manager (WAM) broker for interactive authentication. This option provides a more integrated authentication experience on Windows.
  * Select **OK** to sign in to your Microsoft account.

#### Properties panel
