How to set up your Microsoft Outlook to receive notifications on specific forms.

Updated over a year ago

Set up automatic forwarding

You can automatically forward your messages to another address. You can choose to forward all inspection notifications or just certain ones for certain forms.

Note: this is a function of Microsoft Outlook email forwarding, not Whip Around notifications.


Step 1: Create a new email account such as [email protected]. This is where all email notifications will be sent.

Step 2: Create a user with the email address in Whip Around who follows all teams.

Step 3: Go to their notification settings and tick notification center and email for inspections.

Use rules to automatically forward messages

You can use Inbox rules to automatically forward or redirect messages sent to your mailbox to another account.


Forward all messages to another account automatically

Messages that are forwarded will appear to be forwarded from you. When you reply to a message that has been forwarded, the reply will be sent to the address the message was forwarded from, not to the original sender.

  1. In Outlook Web App, click Settings > Options > Organize Email > Inbox Rules.

  2. On the Inbox rules tab, click the arrow next to the plus symbol +, and select Create a new rule for arriving messages.

  3. Under When the message arrives, select Apply to all messages.

  4. Under Do the following, click More options.

  5. Under Do the following, select Forward, redirect or send, and then select Forward the message to or Forward the message as an attachment to.

  6. Select the address you want your mail sent to by double-clicking it in the address book view. If the address you want to forward to doesn't appear, you can enter the email address on the To line at the top of the window.

  7. Click OK to save your selections and return to the new rule window.

  8. Click Save to save your rule and return to the Inbox rules tab.

Redirect all messages to another account

Messages that are redirected will appear to come from the original sender. When you reply to a message that has been redirected, the reply will be sent to the original sender.

  1. In Outlook Web App, click Settings > Options > Organize Email > Inbox Rules.

  2. On the Inbox rules tab, click the arrow next to the plus symbol +, and select Create a new rule for arriving messages.

  3. Under When the message arrives, select Apply to all messages.

  4. Under Do the following, select Redirect the message to.

  5. Select the address you want your mail sent to by double-clicking it in the address book view. If the address you want to redirect to isn’t in the address book, you can enter the email address in the To line at the top of the window.

  6. Click OK to save your selections and return to the new rule window.

  7. Click Save to save your rule and return to the Inbox rules tab.
