simpro + outlook

Every open quote chased, from your own inbox.

Simpro already adds emails to jobs and quotes from Outlook, and syncs schedules with the Outlook calendar both ways. Centrus works the inbox on its own: open Simpro quotes are chased from your mailbox every weekday, and portal work orders that arrive by email are raised as jobs in Simpro.

What Simpro's Outlook integration does, and what Centrus adds

Keep Simpro's Outlook integration. Centrus works across both systems, on the work that still falls to someone in the office.

Simpro's Outlook integration

  • The Outlook add-in creates leads and customers in Simpro, and adds emails as notes to customer cards, leads, quotes and jobs.
  • It recognises the sender when they are already in Simpro.
  • The calendar sync is two-way: Simpro schedules show in Outlook, and Outlook appointments show in Simpro as Busy.

What Centrus adds

  • Quotes sent 7 to 28 days ago chased every weekday, written from the notes on the quote.
  • Portal work orders read from the inbox and raised in Simpro as jobs, with the site, the priority and the PO.
  • Subcontractor job sheets rewritten as your worksheet on the Simpro job.

how one runs

Open quotes, chased before they go cold

One agent, described once in Agent Builder, runs every weekday. The account owner only steps in when it matters.

01

Every weekday

The agent loads the quotes sent from Simpro between 7 and 28 days ago that are still open.

02

Replies left alone

Anyone who has already replied about the quote is skipped, so nobody is chased after saying yes.

03

Written from the notes

It reads the notes on the quote in Simpro and writes the chase in your tone, about that job.

04

Sent from your mailbox

The chase goes from your own Outlook, and the account owner hears about any quote still open.

setup

Two connections, each made once

Each system connects on its own card in Integrations. Agents keep their own connection, so a scheduled run never depends on one person staying signed in.

Connect Simpro

In Simpro, create an application under System, Setup, API, Applications, using the API Key method. Paste the key into Integrations with your build URL and company ID, which is 0 on most builds. Centrus checks it before saving.

How to connectThe Simpro setup

Connect Outlook

Each person clicks Connect on the Microsoft Outlook card in Integrations and signs in with Microsoft. One sign-in covers mail and calendar. If your Microsoft 365 asks for an administrator's approval, IT approves Centrus once.

questions

Simpro and Outlook questions

No, keep both. The add-in files the email someone has open, and the calendar sync shows who is free. Centrus works on what arrives and what is waiting: the quotes nobody has chased yet and the work orders nobody has typed in.

Your own, or a team address you sign in to. Each person connects Outlook with Microsoft, and Centrus sees only what that person can see. Chases go out with your HTML signature if you turn it on.

No. Anyone who has replied about the quote is skipped, and the notes on the quote are read before each chase is written. Add an approval step if the account owner wants to see each chase before it goes.

Yes. The agent downloads the attachment and reads the PDF, so a works order sent as a file is raised in Simpro the same way as one written in the email. Add an approval step and the desk checks each job before it is created.
