Setting up mail flow rules in the Exchange Admin Center for limited sync (Office 365)

Limited sync is a great option for companies with security policies that restrict third-party apps from having read access to email. When you enable limited sync for your Lever environment, users that opt into our email integration will only grant Lever permission to send emails via their Google or Office 365 work account and candidate responses will not sync back to Lever.

Before setting up mail flow rules in the Exchange Center, a Super Admin must enable limited sync in your Lever company settings. For more information, refer to our help article on enabling limited email sync.

As an Admin for your Office 365 Exchange instance, you can configure auto-forwarding inbound rules in the Exchange Admin Center.
