Sending newsletters via Outlook is now easier than ever, whether you are a PC or Mac user, just click on the relevant menu below to find out how:
1. Install our Outlook Add-in to import and send newsletters from the Outlook Desktop app (available on PC, Outlook version 2013 and above)
1. Open the file you've just downloaded and run setup.exe.
2. If you see the 'Windows protected your PC' window pop up, click on 'More info' and then 'Run anyway'.
3. Follow the on-screen prompts to continue installing the add-in.
4. Once installed, open a new message in Outlook, then click the 3 dots in the top right corner and select ' Import Publication ' as per below. The first time you do so, you will be asked to login using your Publicate login details.
5. Once logged in, you will see a list of all your newsletters every time you click on the 'Import Publication' button. Once you select the one to use, click ' Add publication ' Also if you want to access Publications from a Team Workspace vs our Personal Workspace you can change the settings at the top.
6. Pro tip: you can add the Add-in directly to the top ribbon as shown below: just right-click the 'Import Publication' option shown in the previous screenshot and select ' add to ribbon'.

2. Log in to your account on Outlook.live.com. If you are used to the Outlook Desktop app, don’t worry the same login details apply. Start a new email draft and you will see Publicate ‘ Import Publication’ button at the top of the email draft:
3. The first time you click on it, you will be asked to give the Publicate Browser Extension permission: click ‘ Accept’ to continue and provide your Publicate login details so your Publicate account is connected to your Outlook:
