CompanionLink supports two-way sync with Microsoft Office Outlook 2013

Posted on by Rushang

Early word from our R&D team is that CompanionLink will fully support Outlook 2013 Preview in our next software update. This means people can sync Outlook 2013 People (formerly known as Contacts), Calendar, Tasks, and Notes with the latest Android, iOS, Windows Phone, BlackBerry and webOS devices.  You can also sync Office 2013 with Google, Gmail, and Windows Live accounts.

We’re excited about Microsoft’s initiatives to merge the cloud with desktop platforms. CompanionLink is looking into ways to sync directly with Office 365.  Please bookmark this blog post and we’ll update it as we learn more. There is lots more to come.

    Has there been any development yet with Outlook 365 syncing? I use GroupWise at work but Office 365 for my home calendar and it would be great to keep the two in sync.

    Any idea on when it will get released? I love CompanionLink and can’t wait for it to work!

      Nevermind, found it! Hopefully it is release 5032 that supports office 2013

        Release 5032 appears to NOT support Outlook 2013. I look forward to seeing the next release.

          Support for Outlook 2013 will be in our next update – Build 5034. Thanks for checking!

            Any release date for build 5034? I’m keen!

            It’s available now. In fact, we’re on 5036! http://www.companionlink.com/downloads/updates.html

            Unfortunately, 5036 only transfers the City & State & Post code from Outlook 2013 to the phone, but no Street address!

            Here’s a fix:
            Open the Field Mapping tab in CompanionLink, find Work Address fields 1 and 2, and map them to something like Business Address Street Line 1 and 2. If any of this is confusing, just email me at social@companionlink.com and I’ll provide more details.
